A psychopath who is obsessed with a writer, has gone through his bins and collected screwed up bits of writing, has a library filled with his books etc. He lures the writer to his house, poisons him and then stuffs him - the taxidermy is described in horrible detail - and then the stuffed writer is posed at his writing desk in the 'library' with his rubbish bin with screwed up work in it beside him. I thought it was called 'A complete collection' or something. Read it as a child but DH and DD think I dreamt it all.
