"That M. John Harrison is not a Nobel laureate proves the bankruptcy of the literary establishment. Austere, unflinching and desperately moving, he is one of the very great writers alive today. And yes, he writes fantasy and sf, though of a form, scale and brilliance that it shames not only the rest of the field, but most modern fiction."

China Miéville, author of The Rouse


'A singular stylist;'

'A genre contrarian;'

A visionary;

A pioneer;


Praises abound. 

 Yet, his genius defies any encapsulation

 


​English author and literary critic Michael John Harrison is widely considered one of the most brilliant novelists writing today.

 

Behind remarkable works such as The Course of the Heart, The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again (a Goldsmiths Prize winner for innovative fiction), Nova Swing (which earned the Arthur C. Clarke Award), and Climbers (recipient of the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature) is his boundless, wild and prophetic imagination.

"M John Harrison writes astonishingly on the page of course, but he must also be doing something else. This book is both a dream and the dream state itself. I don't know what else to say - it feels beyond reading. Disturbing and yet revelatory. He's changed the world here."

Ben Pester, author of The Expansion Project

The End of Everything Signed & Exclusive


"He would no longer be himself, if he had ever been. It's what happens when you get too close to the sea". 


In a broken, post-disaster Britain, a mysterious crisis has changed the world forever. The government barely functions, strange creatures fill the seas, and Europe has vanished: 

ecological collapse, a reality shift, or a secret alien invasion?


Along the decaying south-eastern UK coastline, Phillip Tennent makes a living by retrieving artefacts that drift in from the Channel. But one day, he pulls out something he cannot keep: 

a metamorphic creature that could shatter his long-held beliefs...


Totally hallucinatory and weirder than anything you’ve ever or will ever read, this bewitching post-apocalyptic novel, wrapped in crafty satire, stretches the limits of human understanding. 

Signed by the author, this exclusive edition also boasts beautiful sprayed edges and includes a unique short story called English Heritage.

"Harrison is without peer as a chronicler of the fraught, unsteady state we're in."

Olivia Laing, author of The Lonely City

"The End of Everything, a novel of absences and apparitions, of things almost recognised and far from understood, has little to do with the details, and everything to do with the tenor of how we live now. It will get deep into your bones."

Chris Power, author of Mothers
