Habit

<strong>Now a major motion picture</strong>

Manchester, the present. Michael divides his time between the job centre and the pub. A chance meeting with Lee, an introduction to her 'Uncle' Ian, and a heavy night on the lash lead to a job working the door at a Northern Quarter massage parlour.

After witnessing the violent death of one of the 'punts', Michael experiences blood-drenched flashbacks and feels himself being sucked into a twilight world that he doesn't understand but that is irresistibly attractive. When he eventually finds out what goes on in the room below 7th Heaven, Michael's life will never be the same again.

Think Bret Easton Ellis. On a writing break in the north of England. And all he packed was Fight Club and some early Stephen King novels. Stephen McGeagh's powerful debut will stay with you for a long time.
