Short story collection by Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting, Marabout Stork Nightmares), published in 1994. Contains many of the themes and characters typical of Welsh's writing: poverty, drug use, depravity and disillusioned twentysomething Scots. A good mix of the bitter, the sickly hilarious and the surreal. Some of the stories casually include fantasy elements in a way that would be reminiscent of magic realism if it wasn't all so sordid.
Three of the stories from this book ("The Granton Star Cause", "The Acid House" and "A Soft Touch") were grouped into a three-part movie also titled The Acid House. I understand the movie caused a bit of a stir because of its portrayal of God (one of my favourite parts of the book, really).
