FHM review of Pelican Blood

Stuck in a rut, an anonymous narrator only wants to spot birds - until he murders a notorious egg collector. Fearing the net closing in, he resolves to kill himself. Featuring a neat twist at the end, this is a fantastically original study of obsession, life, love - and birds.

Who's he ripped off? Nobody - a true one-off.
