If the sixties were swinging, the seventies were the hangover: darker, nastier, uglier - especially if you lived on a council estate in the north of England. Sixteen-year-old Kenny Seddon is the miserable product of one such estate: a bleak, characterless place that epitomises Nordic frugality. Kenny stumbles through life, from one dead-end job to the next, only finding a release for his all-encompassing despair in the mindless violence in which he indulges. He hates everyone and everything: the Bury fans, the teenagers who roam the streets dressed as their Clockwork Orange anti-heroes, the Pakistanis he mugs for pennies. In Rule of Night Trevor Hoyle creates a chillingly detailed world, with the backdrop provided by Ford Cortinas, Players No.6, the factory and - above all - the relentless struggle to maintain hope. First published in 1975 and pre-dating the vogue for hard men and hooligan novels by twenty-five years, it has since become a cult classic.
