After obscure author of strange stories, SimonPeterkin, vanishes in bizarre circumstances, a typescript, of a textentitled, The Wanderer, is found in his flat. The Wanderer is a weird document. On a dying Earth, in the far-flung future, a man,an immortal, types the tale of his aeon-long life as prey, as a huntedman; he tells of his quitting the Himalayas, his sanctuary for thousands of years, to return to his birthplace, London, to write the memoirs;and writes, also, of the night he learned he was cursed with lifewithout cease, an evening in a pub in that city, early in thetwenty-first century, a gathering to tell of eldritch experiencesundergone. Is The Wanderer a fiction, perhaps Peterkin's last novel, or something far stranger? Perhaps more account than story? A fiendishly wrought labyrinth of tales within tales, opening out fromthe most intimate horrors into aeons of desolation, wonderfully writtenand devilishly compelling. -Hal Duncan, author of Vellum and Ink Achieves an uncanny and unsettling quality, trailing itself spookily across the tender membrane of the reader's imagination. -Adam Roberts, author of Bête and Jack Glass Easily one of the best modern horror novels I have read in many, many years.Imagine M.P. Shiel and William Hope Hodgson channeled through MarkSamuels, with frequent scenes of quite nightmarish ghastly horror andcruelty that read like Reggie Oliver doing a novelisation of Cannibal Holocaust. Witty, clever, and utterly, deliciously horrific. I can't begin todescribe how impressed I was with this, and how much I enjoyed it. Justmarvellous. -John Llewellyn Probert, author of The Nine Deaths of Dr. Valentine and The House that Death Built The Wanderer is a grimoire, filled with stories about stories, stories withinstories, legends, folktales, histories and foretellings. It's a bookyou'll stay up all night reading - both to find out what happens next,and to forfend the nightmares it will surely inspire. -Neil D.A. Stewart, author of The Glasgow Coma Scale A little like wandering through a library assembled by some insane devotee of fantastic atrocities and excesses. -Robert Maslen, editor of Mervyn Peake: Collected Poems
