Midget is the first novel by British author Tim Bowler, first published in 1994.
Teenage Midget is abnormally small and can barely speak.
He has fits as a result of the secret abuse he suffers at the hands of his psychopathic older brother, Seb, who is to outward appearances utterly devoted.
Midget dreams of buying a boat and sailing away, but people say it'll take a miracle for that to happen.
[1] The Sunday Telegraph described Midget as "a masterly handling of suspense and cold, trickling horror.
