One of my charity shop purchases from the other day, The Seven Days Of Peter Crumb reminded me of Nick Cave's 'The Death Of Bunny Munroe', as they both feature a deranged character spiralling off the rails, although Johnny Glynn's Crumb is undergoing a contrapuntal crisis, as a result of a death years before, leading him to drink, drugs, rape, murder and an unexpected act of heroism. It's a real page turner, without doubt very gory and violent, but the story keeps you entertained and wanting to know more, as Crumb reveals flashes of humanity coupled with a sharp intellect. An unexpected delight.
