Jon Michaels - a divorced, disaffected and fatigued editor living a nondescript life in North London - wakes one morning to a phone call informing him that his uncle has been found dead in his caravan on Canvey Island. Dismissed from his job only the day before and hung over, Jon reluctantly agrees to sort through his uncle's belongings and clear out the caravan. What follows is quixotic week on Canvey. The island is dismal, sinister and yet strangely seductive. Under its spell, Jon, lost in desire and delusion, stumbles across a terrible secret.

Haunted and haunting, VULGAR THINGS is part mystery, part romance, part odyssey: a novel in which the menial entrances and the banal compels.
