Description
A masterclass in malevolent storytelling, Ratman's Notebooks is a chilling tale of revenge and the unlikeliest of friendships. When his mother discovers a rat infestation, the anonymous writer sets out to drown the pests, but finds himself drawn to their company instead. As he learns to train and communicate with the rats, the narrator hatches a plan for vengeance against a world that has wronged him. His target is his hateful boss, Mr. Jones, who treats him with contempt. The narrator's campaign unfolds in gruesome detail, from vandalism to robbery to murder. First published in 1968, Ratman's Notebooks returns to print after 40 years, featuring a new introduction by Kim Newman that explores the book's significance in the horror genre.
