I love the novel The Wasp Factory. Some elements of the novel remind me of Patrick Mc Cabe’s novel The Butcher Boy because of the elements of psycopathy founded in both novels. They are also both qrotesquly written and have elements of sadism in them.

Broken Monsters Book Commentary
Lauren Berukes novel Broken Monsters is one of the greatest novels I have read this year. In an interview with John Purcell the author discussed how Stephen King had categorised her novel as being part of a horror genre. Lauren Berukes went on to say that as an author she does not like being categorised one one way or the other as she believes that her fiction crosses all genres. One of the main elements of the novel which intrigues me the most is that she chooses it to be set in Detroit. This area of America is famously known by the media as being a desolate area where the American dream has failed.
On the other hand, it is also a place where thousands of Americans live who have dreams and aspirations.
While reading her novel I became fascinated by the use of morbid imagery she uses to describe the corpses. Death is a constant theme throughout her novel and I am made aware of this by the constant theme of crows along with a hybrid mixture of animals composed with a human’s body appearing in her novel.
As well as individual characters trying to deal with the situations they face while growing up in a city which is broken by violence, poverty, and despair. The novel is also a story of survival and if you are strong you can defeat the evil which lurks beneath the surface. The novel not only addresses the different stories the characters live but points out that Detroit is not only a place where violence is an issue but also a place which may transform due to change and willingness of individuals.
Unlike certain horror or psychological thriller authors she does not glorify the violence the victims face but enables us to sympathise with why individuals can becomes monsters and why victims suffer the way they do.
She indicates how monsters suffer from their demons and chose to live their metaphorical dreams unable to emphasise with the victims they are harming.
Each individual character has a story. This includes a detective, Gabi Versado, who is surprised and horrified by seeing half animal and half human corpses turning up,her daughter Lylia, who gets into trouble with social media while trying to catch paedophiles, a homeless man, with children trying to survive and Clinton Bloom an artist who transform into a psychopathic murderer.
