Description
In this new collection, cult writer Ellis Sharp reinvents the possibilities of fiction. Paying homage to the 1960s experimental novelist Ann Quin, these stories take the reader on a rollercoaster ride through a dark, absurd world where the fabric of reality is twisted into strange new shapes in which anything is possible - from an encounter with Franz Kafka's second fiancée and a journey into a demon-populated hell to the disturbing climaxes of a paranormal communication and an all-night party. Shadowed by themes of death, passing time and lost love, this book confirms Sharp's reputation as one of Britain's most idiosyncratic and innovative writers.
