Joe Evans: Den, Gebunden

Klappentext

' From its original premise to the wonderful writing, Den is one of those novels you can't look away from'
JENNIE GODFREY

' An eerie, hypnotic fable that captures the profound longing that unites us all'
WIZ WHARTON

In a garden somewhere in London, Fox is watching a man called Ben through his kitchen doors.
What Ben has, Fox wants. Bi-folds. Crockery. Taps. A loving family, and a warm bed to sleep in at night.

Fox believes Ben to be careless of his riches - he's a distant father, a disinterested partner. Ben doesn't even notice when Fox begins stealing pieces of his life - the odd shoe, a colourful sock, various bits of cutlery.

And now he's had a taste, Fox wants more: to take over the entire house, and Ben's life with it.

Voyeuristic and haunting, Den is a strikingly original fever-dream of a novel about what it means to make - and keep - a life, perfect for fans of Fruit Fly and The Lamb.
