KIRSTY LOGANFLATMATES ARE HELL 'Massimo lived here now. And things had begun to happen. Sounds, smells, dreams. A private horror show. A usurper in my ordered world 'Simon has always been a good boy. He s invariably employee of the month at the seasonal small plates restaurant where he works, he neurotically tidies his home, he keeps on top of repairs on behalf of his twenty-something, permanently-abroad landlord and tries to do right by everyone.

Odd sounds emerge from Massimo s room, smells of earth and meat drift through the corridor and Simon s nights fill with disturbing and tantalising dreams.
