Book Description

Lucifer invites you into his world, opening the rusty door to a factory full of freaks and deadbeats, dross and dullards, petty criminals and colossal perverts. Plundering a rich mine of unsavoury anecdotes, filthy rumours and his own first hand experience of a dead end job that spans four decades, Pantone Blues is a collection of stories scraped from the factory floor that are visceral and funny, tragic and touching - life in the raw. From the gritty underbelly of industrial Yorkshire come a cornucopia of damaged characters...Scorcher, a pathological liar with a wild imagination and a taste for Tetley's bitter...Soulless Boss, a middle manager with a bitter grudge...Weasel, an oddball with a fetish for York...Sytex and his hideous personal hygiene...the monstrous paranoia of The Shadow...the kinky antics of Snow White...and many more. And there is Lucifer, shuffling shoulder to shoulder with them, trying to escape but never succeeding, striving for a better life that always eludes him.
