MACABRE MAYHEM! SATANIC PANIC!

Eighteen-year-old Graeme "Thumper" Connell still has an imaginary friend: the masked killer from his favourite slasher film. Thumper is obsessed with horror and always has been. He fills his time with scary VHS rentals and hanging out with his friends and fellow fans, The Murder Club. But everything changes when his local video shop acquires one of the notorious films known as "video nasties" - films so scary they're the target of the British Moral Decency League's crusade to ban and burn.
But it's only a movie, right?
It's all just imaginary, isn't it?
The Nasty is a story about the perception of evil, the power of genre, the love of fandom, the need to create art, oh, and crap-your-pants TERROR! Become a bonafide member of The Murder Club: pick up this book!
