Dive into the bloody, beating heart of horror history with Cursed Films, a thrilling five-part documentary series examining the stories behind some of Hollywood’s most iconic, spine-chilling cinematic masterpieces: Poltergeist, The Omen, The Exorcist, The Crow and The Twilight Zone movies. Whilst the tag for the book claims it is funny, bittersweet, unforgettable; a story of grief, resilience and brotherly love, that is not the whole story. It is probably the most intriguing book I’ve read in a long time. Put it at the very top of your ‘to read’ list. If information is incorrectly shown in the competition title, prize description, end date, or any other information then every effort will be made to rectify it as soon as possible after it is identified.

May’s razor sharp wit and realistic view of life, especially of a young person grieving while trying to figure out where they fit in the world, is simply fantastic. I couldn’t put this one down – to the point where I was reading while walking to find out what happened to Billy and Oscar. There are moments of resonance in the story of Billy Smith, which quietly puncture memories in my own life and I feel sure that this will be true for all readers. This is, perhaps, the point. May creates a truthful moment of poise between the ‘trauma porn’ of the ‘real-life’ magazines and the surreal agony of Billy’s own life, such that this piece of fiction weaves its way into our own memories of actual lives and real truths. And somewhere, always, amidst it all, there is the sunshine, which thankfully prevails.

May’s observations have the precision of a surgeons scalpel and the cast of characters he has assembled are sharply defined and truthfully rendered.

Quite simply this is the best novel I have read over the last year. It almost has a will of its own, an insistency that demands that you keep reading it and will not let you stop until you breathlessly reach the end. The prizes are not for resale or transfer and participants in breach of this may have their account suspended.

Airing in more than 220 different territories around the world, Midsomer Murders has been a fixture on our television screens since its premiere in 1997, which drew in 13.5 million viewers, making it ITV’s highest rated single drama of that year. 25 years on the show remains one of the channel’s most popular and pulls in some five million plus viewers per episode. Adding to his stress, Billy keeps seeing the youth wanted for his mother’s death everywhere. This person haunts him, as he has destroyed Billy’s whole world and as yet, is going unpunished for the deed. Billy and Oscar are suffering but so far the accused is still out there, still living his life while Billy’s mother is no longer living hers. He immerses himself in magazines that detail weird and wonderful happenings to people (hence the title, as he refers to them as Life! Death! Prizes! magazines because that’s what the cover headlines say, in a nutshell), in trying to make sense of his mother’s own utterly senseless death and their situation.

There were two reasons for this – I felt that Billy’s speech patterns fluctuated a lot and not necessarily in a predictable manner. For most of the book his speech was, what I felt to be, spot on, especially the slang and syntax, but there were times when it felt like he was using a much older person’s language and not when you would think he would be doing this. The second reason, was May’s writing style. It bothered me on a couple of occasions when May threw in a list of social media or drinks or most of his lists really. It felt like he was trying too hard to show he was ‘hip’ and ‘up-to-date’ with the lingo of the youth. But, there were a few times where he did this seamlessly and it was great and humorous, but those he didn’t were more noticeable.

The book has variously been described as raw, funny, heartfelt, sad, comic, gritty, heartbreaking, confused, happy, bleak, wry and tender. It is all that. It is confessional, almost more like a journal or diary turned into a running narrative, and if you like the hero's voice and are interested in what he's interested in, (or if you just like tight, sharp word craft), I would think you would enjoy this a great deal. To celebrate Lonely Planet’s 50th Birthday you have the chance to win a bundle of new releases before anyone else. When Billy's mother is killed in a bungled street robbery, the now orphaned nineteen year old boy is determined to look after his six year old step-brother Oscar, despite the advice of his aunt and the reappearance on the scene of Oscar's natural father who belatedly wants to claim him. In his own way Billy, who is doing a gap year before going off to university, does his best, but is it enough, especially once Social Services become involved?There is the smoldering mystery of the missing killer’s life, as Billy’s paranoia of his whereabouts grows, and we are offered a glimpse into what makes a criminal. Events are not neat or expected and an extraordinary ending will literally take your breath away. Whilst the tag for the book claims it is funny, bittersweet, unforgettable; a story of grief, resilience, and brotherly love, that is not the whole story. It is probably the most intriguing book I’ve read in a long time. Without wanting to give too much away, the fact that the book is in first person from Billy’s POV is used very well in misdirection. His history of Aidan Jebb, the boy who killed their mother, is convincing, and there are times when we are not sure whether we are seeing reality of some drug-induced hallucination. Billy isn’t sure, either, so I appreciate that’s the point. There are a couple of places, though, where I’m still unsure whether the misdirection is deliberate or not. For example, the bit where Billy’s attempted girlfriend Lucy is reading AA Milne to Oscar, Billy considers that a poem like that telling the story of James James Morrison Morrison wouldn’t be tolerated today, as it’s about child abduction. The thing is, of course, that it’s not about that at all (it is James James Morrison Morrison’s mother who disappears, not the boy himself), which leaves me unsure about whether it’s Billy or the author who is making this mistake. So, where does ‘Life! Death! Prizes! fall? If my voice sounds like an echo it’s because I’ve been blown away to Kansas by this book. Not my usual fare but it proves a book well written, no matter what, is a good book.

Now the upside of being a book reviewer—besides the lovely, free unreleased books—is the same as the downside. Let’s just say I am forced to read outside my comfort zone and, sometimes, I am pleasantly surprised. On occasions, I am absolutely blown away.

To find the range of Neutradol At the end of ‘Life, Death, Prizes’ I cried.
