He's someone I truly admire. So, yeah, this review might be a bit biased."Marbou Stork Nightmares" isn't for the weak stomached or (some) survivors of sexual abuse. The latter might find the story triggering. It's a dark, disturbing, well-written tale. Like most of Welsh's work, most of the story's told using a thick, confusing Scottish dialect. Unlike his other or stories, this one also includes segments written in parody of something cheery by Enid Blyton or whoever. Sort of. Er, coma-dreams are involved... among other things. I'm honestly not sure how to explain. Why don't you read it yourself? It's quite probably the greatest book of the Transgressive Literature movement. Seriously.Also, the song lyrics were a nice touch. They made the story seem even more real. Too many authors forget the importance of popular music. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caution *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 15, 2019* This book is truly a work of genius but it is also an absolute nightmare. Massive trigger warnings for rape, molestation, child abuse, violence (sexual and regular,) animal cruelty...the list goes on. I knock a single star off because of how incredibly disturbing and difficult the material is, but I absolutely praise the writing and organization. I have never read anything like it. It's a sneaky rape-revenge tale wrapped up in a feverish fictional memoir, if you are prepared for the pain, you will appreciate the process. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clever and Original *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2012* I love a good and disturbing book, so Stork Nightmares was a great read for me. To me Welsh is very unique and the writing style is so specific to him. The only other book I read of his was Trainspotting, but I'm eager to read more. "Nightmares" is a much easier read than Trainspotting and though the entire book is not written in Scottish dialect, the parts that are makes it fun to read.The plot was unlike any other I've read. The main character is in a comma and goes in and out of real life, his past life and a dream like state. All three plots are equally interesting and I am most impressed by how Welsh pulls off the transition between a dream state and reality. It was completely believable and reminded me of that feeling you have in the middle of a vivid dream-when you know you are dreaming but feel compelled to stay active in the dream.It's a great an interesting read and I definitely recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11849240-marabou-stork-nightmares](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11849240-marabou-stork-nightmares) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
