  Nominated for a BAFTA award. From the author of Trainspotting, an adaptation of another of his best-selling works - a collection of short stories - The Acid House Trilogy The Acid House Trilogy is made up of three of Welsh's most powerful stories; The Granton Star Cause (starring Stephen McCole and Maurice Roeves), The Acid House (starring Ewen Bremner, Martin Clunes and Jemma Redgrave) and A Soft Touch (starring Kevin McKidd and Michelle Gomez). All three stories come from the rough, tough badlands of the schemes of North Edinburgh and take us into a dark but hilarious world of drugs, deviant sex and football hooliganism fired by Welsh's passion and fierce steaming rock and roll.

  After his spectacular and controversial debut, TRAINSPOTTING, Irvine Welsh - the most dangerous new writer in Scotland - follows with an unsettling, shocking and very funny collection of stories. The characters in this extraordinary book are often - on the surface-depraved, vicious, cowardly and manipulative, but their essential humanity is never undermined. Using a range of approaches, from bitter realism to demented fantasy, Irvine Welsh displays a corrosive wit and a telling accuracy of observation, confronting our perception of our own identities and that of those around us.
