M. John Harrison's first collection of stories since THE ICE MONKEY ('bears comparison with Peter Carey and Ian McEwan, but he is grittier than Carey and wittier than McEwan' -- TLS). These are brilliant, obliquely fantastic tales, grounded in an acutely-observed contemporary reality, into which obtrude flashes of a world beyond our world, a world which would transform the lives of the book's characters, if only they knew how to find it.
