The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

The Wasp Factory is a 1984 novel by Scottish author Iain Banks. 

Frank doesn’t care for much in the world aside from his Scottish island home and his shamanistic rituals which involve torturing and killing animals, and blowing stuff up. A novel of surprising depth of meaning and literary poignancy, especially after that terrifying synopsis.
