Download or read book Kid Stuff written by Tom Walmsley and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were falling through time together. Moth was being clubbed by Travis in perpetual night, in foreign landscapes. It was Day One. The sky was blue and Moth was dead. He fought Travis in the ring, in a palace, on a barge. He could see every fight imposed on the fight before, the past getting smaller the closer it got to the bottom of the tunnel. This fight was miles and centuries away from the first. They fought in a dream. Travis had a moustache and Moth was a boy. His hair hung down like Stanley Ketchel's. He killed Travis with one thunderous blow to the temple. Hundreds of men surrounded them in a clearing in the woods without a woman in evidence. He had always known Travis. It's the summer before the Summer of Love in the 1960s. Small-town Ontario. Beer, fights, boredom, sex. Kid stuff. Tom Walmsley's first novel in eleven years is an expansive, visceral narrative that dissects the lives of young teens loitering at the edge of adulthood. Moth and Beryl are teenaged siblings anaesthetized by their emotionally broken family; it is only in the spectacle of feral violence and the unearthliness of sex that they come alive. But they are not alone: in the circle of teens and adults that surrounds them, the brutality of the empty landscape becomes self-evident, leading them all down a path of betrayal, deception, and even murder. With an unwavering eye, Tom Walmsley captures perfectly the essence of small-town kids up to no good, if only because it is the only thing they can know. Ferocious and unabating, Kid Stuff is a bittersweet opera, about a time and place that is both then and now.

Book excerpt: Timmy McIntyre was once a popular film performer, but at age nine, he was a has-been. Now in his 30s, he survives by doing bits on TV. On his way to an audition, he passes by where a murder was committed the night before. Timmy had met the female victim, and the police soon make him their prime suspect. At the audition, he gives a fine performance, but is competing against two wonderful actors. Disheartened, he takes a job showing property for a couple of elderly, eccentric sisters. He also gets involved with a beautiful actress whose rapacious ambitions and carnivorous sexual appetite draw him like a moth closer to her inflammable personality. Attempts are soon made on the lives of the other finalists, and the police zero in on Timmy, tracking him through what seems a hall of mirrors. Prone to hallucinating, Timmy is unsure of whether he is actually the murderer himself. Eventually, the one-time child star makes a great comeback-but it costs him something he can never replace.

Book excerpt: Alfred Busi lives alone in his villa overlooking the waves. Famed in his tiny Mediterranean town for his music, he is mourning the recent death of his wife and quietly living out his days. Then one night, Busi is viciously attacked by an intruder in his own courtyard—bitten and scratched. He insists his assailant was neither man nor animal. Soon, Busi’s account of what happened is being embellished to fan the flames of old rumor—of an ancient race of people living in the surrounding forest. It is also used to spark new controversy, inspiring claims that something must finally be done about the town’s poor, whose numbers have been growing. In trademark crystalline prose, Jim Crace portrays a man taking stock of his life and looking into an uncertain future, while bearing witness to a community in the throes of great change.
