'With his second novel Duncan McLean has hit his stride as a magnificent writer with liberal empathy for man's dark side...Rob is a newly-married janitor on Scotland's north-east coast. A hooded figure who holes up in a concrete pillbox on the beach has been seen lurking near the school. Our man takes it upon himself to confront the pervert but his interest in the Bunker Man gradually tilts from apprehension into vigilantism, then obsessed depravity... Ultimately, Bunker Man is very shocking in its violence, through which this message belts home: do not blame life's victims'
Gill Pyrah, Daily Telegraph
'Bunker Man marks another massive blow against the
supremacy of literary London... What really gives the book
its charge is the powerful sense of menace... From the first
page it is clear that the axe is going to fall, but who will be
wielding it and who will be cloven only becomes clear
right at the end...the tension is almost unbearable'
Tibor Fischer, The Times
'Re-locate David Lynch's Blue Velvet in north-east Scotland,
multiply the perversion factor by 20 and you've got
Bunker Man. It's a brilliant conga-line of depravity...
entertainment at its good, old-fashioned best'

Review:
The head janitor at a school in coastal Scotland seems to be doing well: he's got a good job and a new wife who enjoys making love to him. But she earns twice as much money as he does, and his thoughts about filth and danger and sex are making a racket like bees in his head. He sees a strange man in a hooded parka hanging out in the woods near the school and he catches a 14-year-old girl with a porn magazine. He worries about these things. He knows he's the school kids' "guardian angel," and soon he's going to have to make a stand. "Everybody kens there's bad things going on, but no one'll face up to them. Everyone says, Not my business, nothing to do with me. While evil rules everywhere!" Bunker Man is a skillfully fashioned horror tale, rich with Scottish slang.
About the Author:
Duncan McLean is the author of Bucket of Tongues, Bunker Man, and Lone Star Swing. He lives on the island of Orkney.

Seller:
WorldofBooks
(Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Kingdom)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It is the North-west coast of Scotland and there's a stranger in town - a shambling silent hulk of a man, face hooded even at the height of summer. He hangs around school playgrounds, laughing; leers through bedroom windows; camps out in a filthy old concrete pillbox. Meanwhile, Rob and Karen, newly married, settle into their new life together. Rob has been taken on as a janitor in the local school and begins to hear about the hooded man. Unpleasant things begin to happen. Unspeakable things. It is time for a showdown. It is time to find the Bunker Man. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
