Butlin's first acclaimed novel The Sound of My Voice descended into inner darkness few of us dare to acknowledge; in exploring it even further, Night Visits reaches towards the light. When Malcolm's father dies, he drifts into a fantasy world where there is no pain and no love . His aunt, with whom he goes to live in Edinburgh, has long been imprisoned in her own private rituals of fanaticism and terror. Together they enter a hell of love perverted into pain and desire. A powerful and compulsively readable novel.
