Jeffrey Thomas

Jeffrey Thomas' collection Punktown explored the streets and back alleys of a futuristic and nightmarish urbanscape in a series of unconnected short stories. In Punktown: Third Eye, Thomas has teleported authors Simon Logan, Jonathan Lyons, Charlee Jacob, Paul G. Tremblay, Michael McCarty, Mark McLaughlin, Garrett Peck, Thomas Andrew Hughes, and Scott Thomas into the city to pen their own tales of its citizens, aliens, mutations, and sentient machines. These talented authors bring a new perspective, a personal vision, a third eye view to the phantasmetropolis that is Punktown.

Punktown

Neil Gaiman

Michael Marshall Smith's surreal, groundbreaking, and award-winning debut which resonates with wild humour interlaced with dark recollections of an emotional minefield. May we introduce you to Stark. Oh, and by the way -- good luck. Stark is the private investigator who goes to work when Something Happens to you. And when a Something happens it's no good chanting 'go away go away go away' and cowering in a corner, because a Something always comes from your darkest past and won't be beaten until you face it. And that's not easy in a city where reality is twisting and broken, a world in which friends can become enemies in a heartbeat -- and where your most secret fear can become a soul-shredding reality. And the worst of it is, for this nightmare you don't even have to be asleep... Considered a modern classic, and consistently featured in lists of Books To Read Before Your Head Explodes, ONLY FORWARD is a novel you'll never forget.

Everything You Need

Vous croyez aux miracles ? Mark n’y croit pas. Il a onze ans et trouve sa vie sinistre. Il a dû quitter Londres pour aller vivre dans une ville grise et froide, sur la côte. Sa mère, autrefois si enjouée, est toujours trop fatiguée pour sortir. Et il déteste son nouveau beau-père, qui fait tout pour le contrarier et l’empêcher de s’amuser. Mark se sent seul et s’ennuie à mourir. Jusqu’à ce qu’il rencontre la vieille dame qui loge en dessous de chez lui. Elle lui offre du thé, des biscuits, un peu de réconfort... et la clé d’un monde ancien et secret où s’affairent d’étranges domestiques. Mark n’imagine pas à quel point cette rencontre va changer sa vie... Les Domestiques est un magnifique roman, une fable poignante qui marque le retour d’un écrivain d’exception.

Les Domestiques

Moving to Brighton with his sick mother and her new husband, eleven-year-old Mark finds himself immersed in a strange new world when he sneaks into the old servants' quarters and begins seeing the long-dead servants doing their jobs.

The Servants

For young Mark, the world has turned as bleak and gray as the Brighton winter. Separated from his real father and home in London, he's come to live with his mother and her new husband in an old house near the sea. He spends his days alone, trying to master the skateboard, while other boys his age are in school. He hates the unwanted stepfather who barged into Mark's life to rob him of joy. Worst of all, his once-vibrant mother has grown listless and weary, no longer interested in anything beyond her sitting room. But on a damp and chilly evening, an accident carries Mark into the basement flat of the old woman who lives at the bottom of his stepfather's house. She offers tea, cakes, and sympathy . . . and the key to a secret, bygone world. Mark becomes caught up in the frenetic bustle of the human machinery that once ran a home, and drawn ever deeper into a lost realm of spirits and memory. Here below the suffocating truths, beneath the pain and unhappiness, he finds an escape, and quite possibly a way to change everything. A richly evocative, poignantly beautiful modern-day ghost story, The Servants marks the triumphant return of Michael Marshall Smith—the first novel in a decade from the multiple award-winning author of Spares.
