Up the Hill (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481775342)

Up the Hill A macabre story involving two of our most vilified taboos: cannibalism and incest. The tale is based as accurately as possible on the life story of Sawney Bean as told by his last remaining son. Sean Bean, as an old man, finds himself badly injured in northwest Ireland. He is temporarily taken into the house of the local landowner, and in order to ensure that his stay will be as long as possible, he feeds his story bit by bit to his rather unsympathetic host. As the story unfolds, Sawney Bean's character degenerates from a happy-go-lucky youth to one of the most horrific villains in Scottish history, and at the same time, Magee-a ruthless, heartless magistrate-is gradually transformed by his unwelcome guest into a caring, considerate landowner.
