From the Publisher
Great reviews for these two novellasLENINGRAD NIGHTS by Graham Joyce
'Leningrad Nights is one of those works of fiction that seem to arrive unmediated from a space located at an oblique angle slightly above the earth's surface. Graham Joyce uses the novella's unique mixture of liberating length and liberating brevity to evoke a phantasmal, haunted version of Leningrad.' PETER STRAUB
'Hard, beautiful and thoroughly engaging, this novella explores the horror of the real, life at its extreme bending the mind to new realities and perceptions.' MICHAEL ROWLEY Waterstones
'A superb piece of work' PAUL BRAZIER Interzone
'Not only extremely well done from an artistic point of view, it's also morally uplifting - a good story in both senses' CHRIS GILMORE Interzone
HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES by James Lovegrove
'Like Lovegrove's novels The Hope and Days, How the Other Half Lives (and what a cunning title that turns out to be) describes a monstrous edifice founded on injustice. There is a stealth in its calm; there is a courage and anger in there that will make you blink and marvel.' COLIN GREENLAND
'A highly enjoyable Faustian tale. Fast paced and with a surprising plot twist. A fabulous cautionary tale about greed and ego, proving once again that James Lovegrove has got what it takes to hit the big time.' MICHAEL ROWLEY Waterstones
'The story is developed with his usual wit and attention to detail and some excellent dialogue' CHRIS GILMORE Interzone
