    "description": "Looking up at the ceiling, I saw new mould.\n\nEyes staring out of it upside down.\n\nVines growing in, from the outside, stems reaching through new cracks in the windows, the walls.\n\nGabriel\u2019s skin is falling off. His dad is dead. He owes his editor a novel. His girlfriend won\u2019t answer his calls. Hiding in his parents\u2019 dilapidated house, avoiding the estate agent and his horribly well-adjusted brother, Gabriel\u2019s sanity is beginning to unravel. There\u2019s a man with a deer mask in the garden. His mother\u2019s old manuscript is changing every time he reads it. And something very strange is happening on his old family VHS tapes\u2026\n\nFrom startling, major new talent Gabriel Smith, this is a ghost story unlike any you\u2019ve read before; dark, disquieting, and profoundly funny. Formally inventive and dazzlingly clever, BRAT is a meditation on grief and art that will haunt you long after you\u2019ve finished turning the pages.\n\nThe brilliant and breathless debut novel that will appeal to fans of Ottessa Moshfegh, Max Porter and Julia May Jonas",
