Ecstasy

Three Tales of Chemical Romance




Now a major motion picture

Lloyd from Leith has a transfiguring passion for the unhappily married Heather. Together they explore the true nature of house music and chemical romance. Will their ardour fizzle and die or will it ignite and blaze like a thousand suns? Ecstasy follows them and others through the backstreets of Edinburgh, stifling suburban sitting rooms and the bright lights of London. Exhilarating and dazzling, this is Welsh at his very best.

Praise for Ecstasy

A pure writer, producing staggering feats of storytelling... The skill of a master

Independent

Urgent, violent, bleakly funny

Nick Hornby

Welsh's world is spiky, trashy and brutal. It is also brilliant, hilarious and infused with a kind of punkish morality

Sunday Express

The poet laureate of the chemical generation

The Face

Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing to have happened to British writing for decades
