The Wasp Factory is the first novel by Scottish writer Ian Banks, published in 1984. The novel takes place in the summer of 1981. The main character, 16-year-old Frank Coldheim, lives with his father in a secluded mansion on an island not far from a small Scottish town. He practices various religious rituals of his own invention, such as animal sacrifice. The defining event in the development of the plot is the escape of Frank’s brother, Eric, from a psychiatric clinic. Eric’s impending return leads to an unexpected plot twist and a brutal ending that destroys all of Frank’s ideas about himself.
