Description: Literary Fiction, Quantum Irreal;
Smoke, intelligent fog, fun house mirrors, death house aesthetics, a city lit from
within and a city of living houses. Riddles and enigmas. What was that language,
where is its key? City webworks for instant travel by elevator or magic bus. People
who are you and me, only fictional. Elf clubs burrowed snug in the friendly earth
and nightclubs whose floor show is literally murder. St James Infirmary as you've
never heard it in your life before. Song stylings of owls. Storytellers way too
invowen with the stories they tell. Red and blue water on tap. Dream or real? You
or me? Happening to us or do we make it happen? Plain language that almost
makes sense. Bloodsuckers alive and undead. A once-majestic hall of mirrors that
now exists somewhere between memory and legend. "Alive and und--ead, alive and
unde--ead. . . " Vomiting parties, economic indices, themebook competitions. Action
and suspense, stories that begin. Till human voices wake us. Have you noticed how
cities are like dreams? Anything imaginable can happen in them. Cut the deck and
snap! the cards. Step right up.
