Description

Getting yourself a girlfriend is easy, according to Richard.

All you need is papier mache, string, soft material, a balloon, some old fashioned bellows, and a good pair of scissors.

The difficult bit is keeping her secret. Set in an English suburb in the early 1990s, The Black Project by Gareth Brookes is the story of Richard's all-consuming passion for creating 'girls' from household objects.

But as his hobby begins to flourish, his real life friendships and family relationships deteriorate.

Richard is an unreliable narrator, and the reader responds to his loneliness and his dogged attempt to find a companion, while being horrified by his warped creations.

The novel's focus is on the divide between childhood and adulthood; where sex, perversion, and the grotesque feature in their many forms.
