(P/B) SPECIMEN DAYS
A beautiful young woman, a boy, his dead brother. Three people, three destinies - in three very different stories. In the squalor and wonder of nineteenth-century New York the machine age is born; a modern metropolis is in thrall to the threat of random terror; and on a future Earth otherworldly life has arrived. In each the trio take different roles, altered but recognisable, travelling toward some strange, beautiful, redemptive end. A haunting, explosively inventive novel, Specimen Days is the work of one of our most daring and visionary...

(P/B) A WILD SWAN
Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Hours, and exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu. Rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true. The Beast stands ahead of you in line at the convenience store, buying smokes and a Slim Jim, his devouring smile aimed at the cashier. A malformed little man with a knack for minor acts of wizardry goes to disastrous lengths to p...
