Inhaltsangabe

It's July 2003. A tropical heat wave is raging and old people are dropping like flies in Paris. The Sampsons move from their happy home into a caravan that thinks it's a sauna. In 12 months they must build a house of straw on terrain as rocky as their practical credentials... To anyone who struggles to pitch a tent, the prospect of building a grand design of straw bales – in France Profonde – could be somewhat unsettling. Some will tell you that building their own home is an enjoyable and rewarding experience; Mark Sampson will tell you it was hellish. Based on his journal of building the house seen on frequent re-runs of Channel 4's Grand Designs, this is a darkly comic account of a year of living uncomfortably close to the edge. Less about the technical aspects of construction, Bloody Murder is more about the de-construction of family life in the face of a looming deadline, a shrinking budget, capricious conditions and a motley cast of tradesmen. Laugh, cry and wonder why.

Mark Sampson is a writer, journalist and book-maker based in South-west France. Born in London and raised in Belfast, he studied English Literature at Exeter University and American Studies at the University of Sussex in Brighton, where he met his wife, Deborah. They moved from Sheffield to France in 1995, not long after the birth of their daughter. They moved from the Corr�ze to the Lot in 2003 to build the straw-bale house featured in the only series to date of Grand Designs Abroad. Mark has written stage plays, screenplays, children's books and two books of non-fiction. The second, Essential Questions to Ask When Buying a House in France was updated in 2012 as his first eBook for Amazon Kindle.
