“A delirious ride through mundane absurdity and surreal brutality, Daddy’s Boy perfectly captures the feeling of reconnecting with a loved one, only to find out they’re a filthy, out-of-control chaos gremlin.”—Jason Pargin, author of John Dies at the End
From the author of The Girl in the Video and House of Bad Memories comes a dark comedy of errors and toilet humour.
Wentworth is at his wit’s end. He has no money, his cat’s been kidnapped, and every time he tries to kill himself, he fails. Worst of all, he lives in Kidderminster.
But sometimes you’re given a lifeline. For some it’s a lottery win, for others a promotion. For Wentworth, it’s an out-of-shape 50-something named Norman wearing an ‘I was on Naked Attraction’ t-shirt and scuffed Reeboks.
Wentworth thinks he’s in luck but makes a series of progressively worse decisions and soon finds himself on the run from a gang of criminal reprobates.
The two flee to Norman’s holiday home but there’s a local serial killer on the loose, something messed up is happening next door, and Norman is becoming uncomfortably clingy.
Can Wentworth evade the criminal mob, shake off Norman’s advances, and uncover his neighbour’s secrets before he falls victim to the approaching serial killer?
Daddy’s Boy is Shameless meets Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen with the incompetence of The Hangover.
“Dripping with wit and nastiness, Michael David Wilson’s Daddy’s Boy is a gem of a dark comedy thriller. As always, Wilson’s prose is fiery and provocative. This excellent novel took me by the throat on the first page and truly surprised me until the bitter end.”—Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
“Starts out as a fast-talking crime caper but soon takes a hard left into all-out WTFery. I never knew what was coming next. Daddy’s Boy is exciting, weird, violent, hilarious, harrowing, original, and a helluva lotta fun. Exactly my kind of jam.”
—Danger Slater, author of I Will Rot Without You
“Daddy’s Boy is a profanity-laced cocktail of blood, guts, and every other bodily secretion you can think of. If you’re squeamish or a prude, don’t pick it up. But if you’re in the mood for a wild, no-holds-barred, unpredictably violent family comedy, then this is the book for you. I loved every disgusting second of it.”—David Moody, author of Hater
“Delightfully deranged and bursting with pure British humor, Daddy’s Boy is an addicting sprint of twists and turns you’ll never see coming. Read it.”—Max Booth III, author of We Need to Do Something
“A madcap slice of slacker noir. Michael David Wilson’s the kind of magician who can make a switchblade dance across his fingertips, then a moment later it’s sticking out of your gut. A funny, wild tale you won’t want to miss!”—Brian Asman, author of Man, F*ck This House
“With humour so black no light can escape it and a plot with more twists than a tourniquet in an auto-asphyxiation, this novel knows where all the bodies are buried. Read it with caution, it might just make Daddy’s Boys of us all!”—Jasper Bark, author of Stuck On You
