Book of the month
From the author of Faze: The City of Addicts comes a bold and unsettling collection of short stories. MJ White guides the reader from the familiar to the uncanny, from the quietly eerie to the apocalyptic. Within these pages readers will encounter a mad sister haunting the corridors of a Gothic nightmare, descend into the shadows of the Polish underground, and uncover a priest’s dangerous secret. They will witness a daring plot to break Oscar Wilde out of prison, and travel through time where history fractures, and futures collapse. Each story is a doorway into a world where the rules bend, the edges blur, and the unexpected waits patiently in the dark.
Inventive, fearless, and richly atmospheric, this collection reveals White at his most daring — a writer unafraid to explore the Past, Present, Future, and the Weird.
