More than a mere tale of horror and carnage, Squid Match is a powerful study in class struggles and inequality. Richard Gerard and his father lay everything on the line when they're offered a chance to break free of their impovershed existence by participating in a series of games. If they win, they'll enjoy an all-you-can-eat flapjack buffet. But if they lose, they'll join the multitude of others in untimely, violent deaths. The stakes have never been higher. Put on your game face and brace yourself for a phycological thrill ride unlike any you've ever read.
