@irvinewelsh.bsky.social I love your novels, and this isn’t a judgment, but what have you got against dogs? Some messed up stuff happens to dogs in most of your books (death by fireworks, crippled by bolt cutters, fed to alligators lol)

Funnily enough I’m a dog (and cat) lover. I wanted to write a despicable character in Marabou, so it made sense to make him a dog torturer. It was hard to write, but I write to get a reaction from myself. When there was more reaction to the dog abuse than the rape scene I thought, hmmm….
The brutality of the gang rape sequence will haunt me forever. Winnalot’s demise however? Also yes. Thanks for all the disturbing memories I carry round because of your beautiful books mr Welsh, my therapist thanks you too!
