The Acid House (Signed Copy)

Title:

The Acid House (Signed Copy)

Author:

Irvine Welsh

Description:

The Acid House is a gritty, darkly humorous, and surreal collection of 22 short stories that dive into the twisted, absurd, and often psychedelic corners of Scottish urban life. Welsh’s signature themes—drug use, working-class struggle, alienation, and raw realism—are all present, but this collection leans more heavily into the bizarre and fantastical.

From a man whose mind swaps bodies with a fly, to characters caught in absurdist existential crises, Welsh mixes satire with surrealism in his unfiltered depiction of life on the edge.
