Description
Fruit-flavoured love; Obeah magic at work on an island paradise; black bedsit comedy; a London club for connoisseurs with an illicit predilection; a dangerous dance in the Israeli desert; one big, one little man made of wood; a disastrous date with two suitors too many; an appointment with Fate in the world’s biggest cemetery; a man obsessed by the female limb; an enchanted mechanical toy programmed to confront our innermost fantasies; three eldritch science fiction trips; a rock ‘n’ roll fantasy on the stairway to heaven; a sack-full of postcards sent from the unexpected depths of a surreal barroom in Nashville, Tennessee; the displaced voice of a Māori misfit; a nightmare glimpse of a world flickering between TV channels…
“Nice production and an attractive, hefty little paperback of 251 pages.”
ELLEN DATLOW, ‘The Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror (10th Annual Edition)’
“Bell’s stories fully succeed in their stated intention of being ‘incantation[s] to summon an atmosphere…’”
PAUL DI FILIPPO, writer and critic, On Books, ‘Asimov’s Science Fiction’
