Book review - Devil's Island By Frank De Sales


Sometimes the weirdest ingredients make the best kind of recipes when thrown together. Sometimes they don't. Either way, the very right or very wrong mix is always memorable.
Frank de Sales' debut novel Devil's Island mixes gonzo-Catholicism, dark humour and the very disturbing to deliver a read that can have you laughing yourself sick at the top of a page and needing to change your pants towards the last paragraph. If Tarrantino had been an altar boy for the Latin Mass and gone into writing novels instead of directing movies, you still wouldn't have the right blend for the kind of things that escape Frank's mind.

What's Devil's Island most like? Discovering that the Blair Witch is after you, maybe, while you're unable to run away because you're laughing so hard. Perhaps its more like realising what's important and having that nerve-eating feeling that whatever you've dedicated your life to up until that moment doesn't match and that eternity can turn out to be a very long time. Either way, you're going to get entertained by the writing and stylish design of Devil's Island.
