When a corrupt, brutal dentist, Albert Ludd, is found battered and bloody after failing to attend a memorial party for his youngest son, suspicion falls on the dentistβs other children. Especially on Dadβs middle daughter, 37-year-old buxom bruiser Monica Ludd, who was heard βuttering threatsβ against her absent father. How come her car is found outside Dadβs house? Why did she buy a large axe? And yet, Monicaβs a deputy head teacherβ¦
Blood is a Gothic black comedy seen through the eyes of six-foot Monica, who cannot help speaking her secret thoughts aloud and who has been banned by the principal of her school, from using social media. ββParents are sensitive to abuse.β βNeil, I would never abuse our parents.β βGovernors queried βmoronβ and βtwatβ.β β
Set in an angry, anarchic, Brexit-ing Britain where terrorism has become routine, Blood also asks serious questions about modern life: what can we do with the brutal men who bully women and the weak? Can we wait for a world of order and justice? If we hit back, can the circle of violence ever be broken?
