Review:
Call it the "Scottish Invasion," but you can't swing a claymore without hitting a novel out of Scotland these days. One of the newest to make its American debut is Duncan McLean's Bunker Man, a terrifying tale of obsession and perversion played out on the northeast coast of Scotland. Here, where abandoned bunkers--concrete mementos of World War II--dot the shoreline, Rob and Karen Cotto start a new life together. Rob has found a job as a school janitor, and it isn't long before he notices a strange character lurking on the perimeters of the school. The fellow is known as "Bunker Man" because he inhabits one of the bunkers on the outskirts of town. When the headmaster instructs Rob to keep the man away, he goes to extremes, becoming as brutal and bizarre as Bunker Man as he seeks to bring his nemesis down.
About the Author:
Bunker Man has sex, violence, and Scottish slang galore, and McLeod does a fine job of mixing them all together in a novel that is decidedly over the top. This is not a book for the faint of heart, and even the bravest among us might peer nervously over our shoulders from time to time in the course of this dark journey into madness and evil.
Duncan McLean is the author of Bucket of Tongues, Bunker Man, and Lone Star Swing. He lives on the island of Orkney.
