On some levels it's a story about growing up and the trials and tribulations that come with being a teenager, and on other levels it's a very dark narrative that delves deep into the central character's disturbed psyche.

Here's the set-up:
There are two worlds – our world, and Billy’s: and when things get
really bad in Billy’s world he escapes to the secret clearing in the
woods, near Butler’s farm. Only here can Billy be his real self –
watched over by the shadowy figure of his guardian angel – imagining
himself as the new messiah, happily making sacrifices to his God and
cutting up road-kill.
All is going well in Billy’s strange world until a pretty girl arrives and ruins everything.
The outcome is fatal!
From now on, life won’t be easy for young Billy, but then, if you’re the new messiah – no one said it would be.
Michael
Cameron - author of the best selling In Harm's Way – explores the mind
of a teenager who has lost his way in the madness, humor and despair of
the sexually liberated 1970s. BILLY CHRIST is both a psychological
thriller and a coming-of-age story set in a world of pop-music, TV
commercials and the English countryside. BILLY CHRIST: an intriguing
tale spun with humor and drama, and a Gothic lust for gore and horror.
One Reviewer Notes:
Michael Cameron manages to take you into the minds of his characters without the need to signpost who they are beforehand. His subtle use of character nuances and descriptions bring them to life in a way which often makes you feel like their thoughts are being spoken to you directly.
