M. John Harrison is a cartographer of the liminal. His work sits at the
boundaries between genres - horror and science fiction, fantasy and
travel writing - just as his characters occupy the no man's land between
the spatial and the spiritual. Here, in his first collection of short
fiction for over 15 years, we see the master of the New Wave present
unsettling visions of contemporary urban Britain, as well as
supernatural parodies of the wider, political landscape. From gelatinous
aliens taking over the world's financial capitals, to the middle-aged
man escaping the pressures of fatherhood by going missing in his own
house... these are weird stories for weird times.
