Synopsis
Dead Babies, a hilarious Agatha Christie parody and Martin Amis's second novel, was deemed his "most incendiary" (the BBC).
Within the quiet walls of the Appleseed Rectory, a gorgeous five-bedroom, three-story home in rural England, anything goes: the drugs are consumed with gusto, the booze flows like water, and the sex is near constant and deliciously debauched. When six uppity twenty-somethings gather at the rectory for a careless weekend away, things quickly go awry. And when someone named Johnny begins leaving threatening letters around the house, the group is thoroughly shaken--no one has any clue who this "Johnny" could be. A dizzying whirlwind of a novel, Dead Babies is a lurid, sharp, and darkly hilarious indictment of the horrifying vices and shameless self-indulgences of privileged youth."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
