Description

Electrically reimagined old stories make for startlingly original tales. In this collection, myth and modern Britain are magically combined in unexpected ways. The characters that populate these stories are ordinary people, preoccupied with the challenges of everyday life - from the health service to criminal gangs and homelessness. Each story is inspired by ancient myths, the Bible, or folk-lore, offering a unique blend of wit, observation, and exploration of potent mysteries and strange passions. The result is a collection of elegantly written fables that are both visionary and charged with the beauty and horror of their originals. These stories offer a fresh perspective on what it means to be human, tackling the complexities of modern life with sharp-eyed observation and hallucinatory beauty.
