A menacingly funny, daring debut...�With humour so biting and unease this sun soaked, this brilliantly vile pager turner cements Sean Gilbert as a bold new voice in literary fiction'�Lucy Rose, author of�The Lamb------------�A homicidal couple embarks on a luxury holiday to save their marriage. After years of secrets and self-restraint, they've reached breaking point. But three days into the trip, they run into Benny, an acquaintance from their Cambridge days. And Benny is desperate to reminisce about a time - and a person - they would rather forget. Darkly funny and razor-sharp,�I'll Be The Monster�follows a dangerous game of cat and mouse as it plays out under the�stifling heat of the Mediterranean sun. From a major new talent in literary fiction, this gripping debut is a love story about the worst people you know - and of what happens when a change of heart occurs too late.
