Description

It was the end of term at Our Glorious School. Most of the pupils were preparing to return home; some were going away on a geography field trip.

But for five members of the sixth form, it sounded more fun to embark upon what their friend and mentor Martyn called 'an experiment with real life' - to spend three days together in The Hole, a windowless cellar room in an unfrequented part of the school buildings.

Martyn was to lock them in, and in three days he would come and let them out again. At first, it all seemed quite a laugh - eating and drinking, jokes and banter.

Solid Mike and dependable Liz, Geoff with his secret supplies of booze, irritating Frankie and delicate Alex - what a story they would have to tell when Martyn came to release them!

How surprised and admiring their friends would be!But three days passed, and Martyn did not return... The Hole is a dark and menacing first novel, written when the author was still at school.

Compulsive and claustrophobic in quality, it has been compared to John Fowles's The Collector.
