FLESH HOUSE
This is a work of fiction. Any references to real people, living or dead, real events, businesses, organizations and localities are intended only to give the fiction a sense of reality and authenticity. All names, characters, places and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and their resemblance, if any, to real-life counterparts is entirely coincidental. The only exception to this are the characters Tom and Hazel Stephen, Alexander (Zander) Clark, Dave Goulding and Stuart Singer, who have given their express permission to be fictionalised in this volume. All events and character traits assigned to these individuals have been designed to serve the needs of the narrative and do not necessarily bear any resemblance to the real people. Models have been used to play the parts of any individuals photographed (with the exception of Tom and Hazel Stephen who appear as themselves).

For my mother and father Stuart and Sheena MacBride
Many people helped (intentionally or otherwise) with the writing of this book by answering questions, asking them, or just saying within earshot bizarre things that sounded interesting.
