Bücher von Andrew Hook

Andrew Hook sees the world through a different lens. He takes often mundane things and coaxes the reader to find strangeness, beauty, and horror in their form; he colours the world in surreal shades and leads the reader down discomforting paths where nothing is quite as it should be.Frequencies of Existence features twenty-four of the author's finest stories, including four that are original to this collection."Andrew Hook is an undisputed superstar of strange fiction" - Neil Williamson, author of The Moon King"A rich slab of Andrew Hook's trademark understated darkness: measured, careful, but ruthless in its own quiet way." - Chris Beckett, Arthur C. Clarke and Edge Hill Prize-winning author."His stories range from the darkly apocalyptic to the hopefully visionary, some brilliant and none less than satisfactory." - The Harrow"Refreshingly original, uncompromisingly provocative, and daringly intelligent" - The Future FireContents:Your Golden Hands The Universe At Gun Point Kodokushi A Knot of Toads The Abduction of Europe The Aniseed Gumball KidEskimo The Last Mohican BulletA Life In Plastic Burning DaylightMaking Friends With Fold-Out FlapsThe Frequency of ExistenceThe Stench of WinterA Pageant of CloudsAlways Forever TodayThe Caged SeaInterferenceSoftwoodMy Naked ManTokyo In RainThe Day My Heart Stood StillDrowning In AirWhite MatterAbout the Author

Japanese school children grow giant frogs, a superhero grapples with her secret identity, onions foretell global disasters and an undercover agent is ambivalent as to which side he works for and why. Relationships form and crumble with the slightest of nudges. World catastrophe is imminent; alien invasion blase. These twenty slipstream stories from acclaimed author Andrew Hook examine identity and our fragile existence, skid skewed realities and scratch the surface of our world, revealing another-not altogether dissimilar-layer beneath. Nitrospective is Andrew Hook's fourth collection of short fiction.
