Billy Christ

by Michael Cameron

There are two worlds – our world, and Billy’ and when things get really bad in Billy’s world he escapes to the secret clearing in the woods, near Butler’s farm. Only here can Billy be his real self – watched over by the shadowy figure of his guardian angel – imagining himself as the new messiah, happily making sacrifices to his God and cutting up road-kill.

All is going well in Billy’s strange world until a pretty girl arrives and ruins everything.

The outcome is fatal!

From now on, life won’t be easy for young Billy, but then, if you’re the new messiah – no one said it would be.

Michael Cameron - author of the best selling In Harm's Way – explores the mind of a teenager who has lost his way in the madness, humor and despair of the sexually liberated 1970s. BILLY CHRIST is both a psychological thriller and a coming-of-age story set in a world of pop-music, TV commercials and the English countryside. BILLY an intriguing tale spun with humor and drama, and a Gothic lust for gore and horror.
