Black Swan
15 April 2010

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

A riveting and timely debut novel about teenage disaffection and its deadly consequences.

Craig Bartlett-Taylor was always trying to kill himself, but when he took an overdose at the back of Mrs Kenna's classroom, Richie thought he'd finally succeeded- it was a real-life Worst Case Scenario. But then the new kid, Freddy, steps in and saves Craig's life, and for Richie the lure of this mysterious newcomer is irresistible.

Freddy is like nobody Richie has ever met. Dark, sardonic and dangerous, he gives flight to Richie's imagination, introducing him to a way of life he'd never thought possible. But when a night-time prank goes gut-wrenchingly wrong, Richie begins to question Freddy's motives, and all too soon he finds himself committed to a sinister pact, with inescapably tragic consequences. It's true that Freddy saved a life - but could he take one, too?

With great wit and an unflinching eye for the muddle and drama of adolescence, The Suicide Club is a pitch-perfect portrait of teenage disaffection that sets boy against boy, imagination against reason - and, ultimately, life against death.

Reviews for The Suicide Club

Rhys Thomas shakes concepts of normality to the core. It is a challenge indeed for an author to capture authentic teenage dialogue, and [this is] compelling subject matter. Independent on Sunday Something of a SECRET HISTORY set among 15 year-olds...A riveting and often moving read...this is the best of its type that I've read in a long while. I'll be very interested to see what Thomas writes next.
