Product Description
Synopsis
Three friends return to the bleak English seaside town of Morecambe, where the ghosts of the past have caught up with them, and try to discover the source of the violence in their lives.

From the Author
News about HEAD INJURIES
I wrote this book in 1993, when I was 24. I was living in Morecambe at the time, staying at a B&B for 6 months while I studied for an MA at Lancaster University.

Since the book was published, Revolution Films (Jude, Welcome to Sarajevo, I Want You, Wonderland) optioned the novel and commissioned me to write the screenplay. It is now in development. We're hoping to be in production - if all goes well - by Autumn, 2000.

Some of the reviews of Head Injuries:

‘Incendiary stuff... marks Williams out as a writer of rare – if warped – imagination.’ Time Out

'Lean, compelling prose marks this out as a thriller of real distinction.' Crime Time

‘...beautiful prose in this brooding and mysterious tale... A first class novel.’ Interzone

5.0 out of 5 stars deeply unsettling, 7 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This book bothered me more than I can say. I found it deeply disturbing, shocking even, but written with real humour and style. The characters were nicely drawn (Eve and Seamus especially) and the climax is mind-blowing. Ace.

5.0 out of 5 stars a disturbing and devastatingly well written debut novel, 1 Dec 2000
By A Customer
i loved this. from the shocking opening scene to the devastating climax, this grabs you by the short and curlies and never lets go. williams is a powerful and original writer whose prose simply shimmers, creating intense beauty from grim subject matter. a must for anyone interested in contemporary British fiction.
