What is "High Strange"? It's the men in black erasing your UFO research. It's a corporate takeover by bio-occult horrors. It's losing your edge, and finding it again at the bottom of the cosmos. It's your television telling you to eat your government-approved genetically-modified breakfast cereal. It's the unexplained lights in the sky and the faceless gray woman haunting your dreams. It's ancient legends working under contract. It's the forbidden film playing at a haunted movie theater. It's the medical staff making sure you stay crazy. It's the 19th round of mini golf with a disembodied pirate. It's the outer reaches of human experience. Where conventional reality ends, High Strange begins. Over a dozen authors mine the deepest reaches of consciousness and Fortean phenomena. Are you ready to see what lies beyond the veil?

Weird Tales of Paranoia and the Damned

High Strange Horror

End of the line. Amidst a backdrop of apocalypse, the characters in Tales From The End struggle with the slow breakdown of the sanity of the world around them, along with their own delicate minds. It sweeps across the globe, plunging us into unfamiliar settings and placing us face to face with the only people left alive to tell the often-touching, sometimes-gruesome and always downright absurd story. Included: the moment when a whole town lost their eyes, a man whose body becomes a bomb scare, two blood-powered robots at the heart of a volcano, the disgruntled employee of a bubble factory, the dark underbelly of the consumer electronics industry, an expose of post-apocalyptic prostitution, long-dead Hollywood actors screaming their way across Mumbai, ominous, hovering sanctuary ships gliding above Africa, and the botched teleportation of a dead stork. Ladies and gentlemen: if they haven't slipped off to another dimension, fasten your seatbelts....

Tales from the End

Joseph O'Brien

Gemma Smith

The Chewy Cerebrum and Other Stories is the first collaborative compilation by Christopher Fraser and Joseph O'Brien, with a series of specially-drawn illustrations from Gemma Smith and Greg Curzon. Included: a children's story about a tyrannical queen obsessed with homemade preserves, an American depressive with recurring hallucinations of a talking cat, the story of one man's fall into a cannibalistic cult, a Matrix-style computer used to provide wet dreams for its creators, a lunatic wandering the deserts of Mali, a dystopian sci-fi comedy-drama about a group of dysfunctional time-travelling freaks, an unspeakable death aboard a train, a short comic about alternative headache cures, a murderous alien set free on an unknown coastline, an angry letter to the BBC exposing what you'll wish you never knew about children's TV, and the end of the world, all generously peppered with freakish drawings that would take a degree in advanced psychology to make sense of.
