a new event! 🔔🔔🔔🔔👻

on Sept 2nd @ 7pm we welcome to chat about his new novel GHOST MONTH with author and journo Lucas Oakeley

In GHOST MONTH, the spirits of the dead return every September - it’s a holiday of sorts, and living people just have to get on with it. Full of wit, heart and charm, it’s a novel that asks the timeless question: do we only value life when we are reminded that it will end?

Tickets are £5 (in our bio - and redeemable against a copy of the book on the night) - and there will be drinks 🍷!

See you there xx

Ben’s Book of the Week 🏆

Earth 7 by - finally out in the UK! A scifi dystopia unlike anything you’ve read before - a love story set amongst the dust, between a scientist’s daughter raised in an underwater pod and a cosmetically-altered synthetic woman. But there are no heroic rescues or all-powerful deus ex machina here, instead Unferth spends time lyrically unraveling Earth and its remnants, microscopic and macroscopic patterns of sand, the future of the universe, of humanity, of consciousness. Brain-expanding sensational stuff! ✨

copies in store now!

Ben’s Book o’ the Week 🏆 is…

A SHORT STAY IN HELL by Steven L. Peck

This wafer-thin novella is an extremely entertaining and thought-provoking sliver - with a Borgesian premise that’ll haunt you: a man wakes up in Hell, but Hell according to this particular Zoroastrian afterlife is an infinite (or at least so large it may as well be infinite) library. He’ll be released when he finds the book of his life in amongst the endless combinations on the shelves.

Peck takes that proposition, knocks on it from every angle, and presents a fable that is both thorough and concise, bombastic in theory and careful in practice, huge on premise but without discarding lived-in characters. My only wish (and not one shared by the central character) is that it was longer…

For fans of Borges, Calvino, Ted Chiang, Kelly Link, Adam Marek…
