Synopsis
This first novel is a story of horror, both physical and psychological, a taut and vivid slide into panic, set in a Glasgow whose darker side is vividly rendered. The book is illustrated by broodingly suggestive drawings.

From the Author
Of Darkness and Light, my first novel, was published a few weeks before Christmas in 1989, and I gave a copy to my then-girlfriend as a Christmas present. She spent Christmas at her parents' place, and her mother asked if she could read my book.
"I don't think you'd like it, Mum. It's not your kind of thing..."
"Don't be daft," her mother said, and took the book with her when she went to bed.
In the morning, she handed her daughter the book without a word.
"Well, Mum? Did you read it?"
"Aye, I did."
"Well, what did you think?"
"The boy looks normal."
