Two professors of philosophy turn pugilists; Leith removal men become the objects of desire for Hollywood goddesses; God turns Boab Coyle into a house-fly; and in the novella, ''A Smart Cunt'', the drug-addled young hero spins off on a collision course with his past. The Acid House is a bizarre, disturbing and hilarious collection from one of the most uncompromising and original writers around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery bit as filthy, funny and provocative as the novel that proceeded it [\u003ci\u003eTrainspotting\u003c\/i\u003e]… Welsh's first collection of short stories is a riot of colourful characters, eye-watering vernacular and imaginative story-telling.
