Happy Now - Softcover
This psychological thriller is about a housebreaker who finds happiness and sexual fulfilment rather than profit from his activities and a dangerously angry man who must find a way of controlling his inherent violence. When their paths cross it leads to horrific consequences.

About the Author:
Charlie Higson is writer, producer and performer on the hit BBC comedy THE FAST SHOW. He has also worked as a writer for Harry Enfield and a producer for Reeves and Mortimer as well as being the singer in a band, The Higsons, in the early eighties.
Review:
Higson manages to balance the extremely anti-social and mentally unstable characters with a very dark wit, so it's not only the macabre details which make this such compelling reading. * THE LIST * an off-beat, atmospheric novel with an underlying, quite subtle wit... Higson's a genius * MIRROR * This is Iain Banks-ish territory, without the SF, but with the incest and the blood. Higson can build up a tense, nifty plot, and has the kind of ear for middle-England angst that more established writers should be jealous of. * Nicholas Lezard, GQ * HAPPY NOW is written with a chilling perception. Settle down on the sofa with this one, but make sure you've locked the back door first * TIME OUT *
