Beyond is an anthology of short prose about the future and all of its disorientating and perturbing possibilities. We present work that ranges from the parallax of the present - into imagined realities which call back with responses and warnings to the ineluctable churn of our modern world. Frequently dark, often humorous, these writings bear the responsibility of interrogating our conception of normalcy, and pursuing its significance in a future which may be closer to hand than previously acknowledged.

Confused and unwell, alone in a faraway land, through blind luck, and as suddenly as one moment changes to another, an ordinary man is confronted by a serene epiphany. Unsure of its mysterious origins, he returns to Paris indelibly marked and foolishly flees to the South, where his previously staid existence is thrown into exquisite chaos. A poignant debut novella by French painter Augustin Cambau, THE SHIFT is a rare meditation on the still extant possibilities of spiritual awakening, amongst all of the banaity and tedium of everyday life.

Set in Glasgow 2015. A man suddenly finds himself alone, but not for too long. Soon his attention is consumed by another woman - sublime, inspired, unknowable - and different, he feels, from those who came before her. His friend, arrogant and unencumbered, taunts him as they drift aimlessly from one hangover to the next amidst a landscape of uniform grey, pulsating lights and insipid rain. Between querulous despondency and abject nihilism - an attempt to capture the disquiet of the decade just past, striking at the heart of a contagious male despair.
