Book Description
M. John Harrison is a cartographer of the liminal. 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. 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. 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… these are weird stories for weird times. ‘M. John Harrison’s slippery, subversive stories mix the eerie and familiar into beguiling, alarming marvels. No one writes quite like him; no one I can think of writes such flawless sentences, or uses them to such disorientating effect.’ – Olivia Laing, author of The Lonely City ‘These stories map a rediscovered fictional hinterland, one tucked behind the glossier edifices of modernity and genre with views down alleyways into pubs and flats where Patrick Hamilton glares balefully at J. G. Ballard.’ – Will Eaves, author of This is Paradise ‘M. John Harrison moves elegantly, passionately, from genre to genre, his prose lucent and wise, his stories published as SF or as fantasy, as horror or as mainstream fiction. In each playing field, he wins awards, and makes it look so easy. His prose is deceptively simple, each word considered and placed where it can sink deepest and do the most damage.’ – Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods ‘With an austere and deeply moving humanism, M. John Harrison proves what only those crippled by respectability still doubt – that science fiction can be literature, of the very greatest kind.’ – China Miéville, author of Perdido Street Station

Loved Beyond Compare

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
It was on a smoldering hot day that the young teen, Jane, was walking briskly from her house toward the street, a break from her usual habit of hiding indoors to avoid a chance encounter with soldiers who could capture her. Suddenly she sensed a shadow overhead, which was accompanied by the dreaded whistling sound of bombs pushing downward through the air. She knew immediately that she was in extreme danger. She quickly looked up to determine the bombs’ direction so she could deduce the best avoidance strategy. Unfortunately, it seemed already too late as the scotching heat above her head indicated the bombs close proximity. Before she could act, everything went dark and there was deadly silence. Later, as she pushed debris out of her mouth, after realizing she was miraculously still alive, Jane had no idea that this astonishing outcome would be just one of many in her future. In a riveting retelling of her experiences as a young girl living through the Nigerian Civil War, Dr. Jane recounts amazing incidences of near-death occurrences with escapes that defy explanation. While inviting others into her journey through the chaos, she encourages us to explore with her whether wartime chaos, and the abundance of impossible odds, could be breeding grounds for divine interventions, miracles, and the inpetus to evaluate events in our lives differently. Loved Beyond Compare is the gripping memoir of a Nigerian girl’s experiences as she and her family struggled to survive the vicious civil war that raged around them.

Book Description
Love makes life a little wilder in this romantic comedy by debut author Katie Shepard. After a panic attack puts him in the hospital, charity executive Teagan Van Zijl is dragged by his sister to a wilderness therapy retreat in Montana. Lost in the woods while absconding from midafternoon meditation, Teagan is nearly eaten by a bear before his rescue by a furious angel in muddy hiking boots: the program’s handywoman, Darcy Albano, who was mostly worried for the bear. Darcy thought she was going to work as a trail guide when she was hired onto the camp staff but ended up cleaning and hauling instead—merely the latest screwing-over she’s endured since her ex stole her car and her parents ruined her credit score. Teagan becomes the silver lining she didn’t expect, a man clearly going through something yet willing to commit to Darcy’s unique brand of wilderness education as the cure for what ails him. After weeks in the mountains with Darcy, Teagan doesn’t want to return to New York without her. He hires Darcy as his sober companion—a position he doesn’t actually need filled and for which Darcy is completely unqualified—hoping she can help him figure out a way to move forward. But once they get to the city, all Teagan can think of is how to confess the truth without losing her. Together, they begin to imagine what their lives might look like if they could depend on each other for help—even in outrunning a bear.
