Sadly, Mark had ignored Jim's advice and self-published on Kindle; his experience had been a far from happy one. Some of his former friends and former family had taken exception in particular to his starkly vivid portrayal of his hometown as "festering with the corpses of dead leprous children; desolate streets littered with paedophile priests wrapped in rusting chains, entwined with their sinning flesh like hell’s own serpents; rabid dogs which howled like banshees through the endless night... the excreta of the starving smeared across every front room like a badge of honour."
Someone pointed out that the town in question - whose name Jim had forgotten - had been bad in 1976, but not that bad.
