Garbage Man

De: Joseph D'Lacey

Narrado por: Chris Coxon

Ten years after its original publication, this is the third edition of D’Lacey’s cautionary eco-thriller, containing an introduction by David Moody plus a brand new foreword by the author.

Shreve, a no-hope town beside the UK’s largest landfill. There’s nothing Shreve’s jaded residents won’t stoop to in a bid to liven up their monotonous lives…Wannabe model, Aggie Smithfield, plans to escape before Shreve swallows her ambitions along with a million tons of rubbish and filthy little secrets. Desperate for a way out, Aggie makes a macabre pact with reclusive ex-photographer, Mason Brand. When the town’s past catches up with it, their agreement might be the only thing that can save her. Beneath everyone’s feet, something stirs. A creature assembled from things no longer loved. When the creature emerges, there will be no way out.

Hope at the end of our world

DeLacey is fantastic. I loved my listen of Meat so I looked for more from DeLacey. He hasn't wrote very much but what he's done shows imagination. A little confusing at times between characters Ray and Kevin..... If one looks back at a listen you can always find faults however DeLacey Garbage Man was excellent.

Garbage Man

Somehow I managed to miss Joseph D'Lacey. Don't make the same mistake I did. The Garbage Man is a dark, dreary piece of work with excellent characters and awful monsters. The story telling is very atmospheric and gritty.

Damn, what a ride this book is not new .and yet listen it i felt it could have written only yesterday as it outlines so perfectly the current situations, we still find ourselves in regard to ourselves, in regard to ourselves, and our plant this is amazing., D'lacey is so good at his craft'

Great narrator

I love a good monster story, one of the better books I have listened to this year.

Not quite garbage, but not great

Coming from Meat I was expecting a better story. Not gory or violent enough to be a horror story, not cheesy enough to be a fun B-movie type story.

Has a narrative like Meat did, but just is too far fetched to take seriously. The story follows a bunch of people with problems but you don't really care about them. It's like the story tried to blend soap opera and sci Fi and it just didn't work for me.

Narration was good, although the characters were not voiced distinctly enough to tell them apart.
