Condition
Red 223 pages.
Short story collection. Paperback. £6.50.

15-story
cauldron of crime, horror, dark fantasy, warped
SF and the downright bizarre. It features body
art in Guatemala, urban degeneracy, infatuated
cops in Bangladesh, an alien brothel, carnivorous
seduction, a very weird stranger in a local pub,
17th Century Portuguese lost in a full moon rave,
a torturer's descent into Hell, and a cyber-inspired
apocalypse from Goa. And then there are the other
six..... It also features two collaborations with
Des Lewis and Alexander Johnson.

Murder. Abduction. Betrayal. Revenge. From

Horizontal Split 171 pages.
Novel. Paperback. £5.50

A kaleidoscopic
thriller in which, pursued by various oddballs
and navigating strange and deadly environs which
mirror her own fractured personality, young
schizophrenic Sarah searches India for her
abducted baby. From the tricksters in Delhi's
claustrophobic markets to the nightmare spiral of
Calcutta, via the Ganges death rituals of
Varanasi, Sarah attempts to stay one step ahead
of those on her trail who want her either dead
and buried, or saved for a life of chemical
dependency.
