Habit by Stephen McGeach

[Ross Warren]

This was a cracking debut novel, that I think would appeal to ben in particular.

Here's my mini-review from Goodreads:

This is one of the best debut novels, hell best novels full stop, that I have read in years. Everything about it is superbly done with excellent characters and a sense of place that plonks the reader right in the grim reality of life on the bottom rung of society. This warts and all depiction of the real world makes the weird elements all the more effective and coupled with a taut, streamlined narrative style create an engrossing read that propels you through the book at breakneck pace. Highly recommended.

You won't be disappointed mate. I would draw comparison to your work, but whereas your stories are set in London this is Manchester, and I think a novel as good, if not better, can be in your future if you keep honing your work.
