Irvine Welsh has been a favorite author of mine since I was a teenager and I'm familiar with most of his work, so I may be a bit biased! The Acid House was a great step outside of the "Trainspotting Universe" to see what else Welsh has to offer. The stories range from intensely dark (Snuff) to uncomfortably funny (Granny's Old Junk). If you're not going in looking for the usual Mark Renton fix, this won't be for you, but The Acid House is definitely a highlight in Welsh's career. (Stay away from the movie though. Far, far, far away....)
