Product Description

"The Hope" was a ship - five miles long, and two miles wide and one mile high - the crowning achievement of the industrial era. Now it is a dream turned rancid. She has become an oceangoing ark for her motley cargo of violent lives and vicious passions. This is the author's first novel. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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!

Good and evil 1 Jun 2005
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.
