The Gnome: A story about working and drinking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502902634)

A dark, intense and grotesquely funny story, 'The Gnome' is a supercharged account of ten terrible months working in the sepia gloom of Bodgers - 'a reputable menswear store for the older gentleman'. Narrated with acid wit, the story vividly details the neurotic outbursts of tiny store manager, Gregory Grey, soon to be known as The Gnome; an unexpected transfer to the City Centre branch under the tutelage of beefy upstart Melvyn Whelp and the cold skullduggery of Mark Snell, the vampirical area manager. If only the narrator can hold on to his plan of escape before dark, violent fantasies and the impulses of the subconscious become reality.
