How far will a writer go to achieve success? And which is the greater crime - plagiarism or murder? Terence Blacker's dark, impassioned new novel explores the fate of Gregory Keays, a writer whose glittering future is behind him. Corroded with envy, Gregory watches as his contemporaries produce better work, and live happier lives, while he spends his days compiling books about books. One day, he is convinced, the world will recognise his talents.
When a brilliant student enters his life, Gregory is offered one last chance to save his career, but his Faustian pact with success takes him further - much further - than any writer should go. Set in the dangerous world where real life and literary ambition collide, 'Kill Your Darlings' is an unforgettable novel of ego and delusion, villainy and the betrayal of love.
