Product Description
The Hope is five miles long, one mile high. A ship launched on a voyage to a new utopia - a philanthropist's dream. But there has been no landfall and the ship's purpose has been forgotten, and between decks life is decaying into a phantasmogoric nightmare as the passengers descend into madness or simply revert to instinct. THE HOPE was reviewed ecstatically everywhere, from the TLS, Spectator and Interzone, and is shown to be even more relevant now than it was in 1990.

This book has remained one of my all time favourites! It's very dark and gothic. If you like something a bit different...frightening, yet thought provoking...then this is the one for you. It grabs hold of your heart and twists it a little more with every page!

I can't say I enjoyed these stories as they led me into various emotions and also into waking intermittently, scared of creatures I had only read about. It's been about 25 years since a story made that happen! The book is beautifully and powerfully written, well worth a read if you are not the timid type!
Format:Paperback
This is essentially a collection of linked short stroies, through which Lovegrove manages to sustain the intense 'hit' of the true short story for an entire novel. It's a story of a world gone wrong, a microcosm; in particular, a world in isolation from the Universe, gradually running down under the strange weight of entropy. Is it allegorical, or just scary? Who knows. Darkly compelling, certainly.
