Boy racers speed down the back lanes; couples haunt the midnight woods; young skins huddle in the cold once The Peacock has closed its doors. Here the young live hard and wear the scars. It matters whose sister you were seen with. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, it matters a very great deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Barrett's debut does not take us to Glanbeigh alone; there are other towns, and older characters. But each story is defined by a youth lived in a crucible of menace and desire - and each crackles with the uniform energy and force that distinguish this terrific collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jonathan Cape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780224101677\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Barrett, Colin","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £2.01","offer_id":47962339901617,"sku":"SB-0224101676-C4","price":2.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0224101676.jpg?v=1790135726","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/young-skins","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
