Böcker av Steve Redwood

'This story makes the dangerous crossing from symbols of ink to the reader's heart in a way indicative of a classic. Unlike so many English fantasies, it is not ashamed to be funny and wild and rumbustious and devilish and romantic...It has a simple grandeur, a complexity which is scarce aware of itself, a ripeness...It grapples with Milton and turns him upside-down, but doesn't steal anything that falls out of his pockets. The difference between this and so many other modern fantasies which imitate and feed off each other is the difference between imagining a man kissing a woman and kissing her yourself...This book, I predict, is destined to become a modern cosmic comedy fantasy classic.' -Rhys Hughes, author of Mister Gum

Twenty-seven unique stories that stretch the meaning of 'eclectic', bound together in one forbidden tome for the first time. Covering most genres, and moving from grim, cruel, and tragic: broken women living on shelves in a library, a Greek goddess and the monster she created meeting in a final showdown, an alien trapped in Patagonia nurturing itself on sickness and religious gullibility to survive and an exiled Martian fixated on Dana Scully. All this, with a few devils, saints, cloned messiahs, witches, and well-educated zombies thrown in for good measure. 'Bubbles of darkness trapped in fluid humour, like hashish suspended in golden wine, a heady and often disturbing brew.' -Rhys Hughes
