If you want to see truly terrible writers then just look at the Bebo Authors website. My choice quote from there is along the lines of "and her skin flew off like a wave of skin".
Wasp Factory and Complicity are fantastic books. And I completely agree with you. They have obviously made their marks as writers and for good reason.
