New Episode alert

Within the pages of Trainspotting is a stand alone story that doesn't feature any of the main characters and is one of the nastiest, most fucked up things Welsh has written.

In 2005, a short film adaptation of it was made...let's see if it's shite or not..

The meter is running for the return of Juice Terry!
