About the Author M. these are weird Stories for weird times.
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...
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.
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.
John Harrison is a cartographer of the liminal.
