Midget is the first novel by British author Tim Bowler, first published in 1994. It is set in Leigh-on-Sea and is a psychic and psychological thriller. The Sunday Telegraph described Midget as ‘a masterly handling of suspense and cold, trickling horror.'[1].

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. Midget knows miracles can happen, but sometimes they hurt people who get in the way.[2].
