Publisher's Synopsis
Following up the dark confections of The Function Room, Oneiros Books presents this volume which comprises Matt Leyshon's complete uncollected works to date. On display here is a variety of stylistic diversions, ranging from the 'conte cruelle' gruesome body horror of 'Scratchings', to the existential dread and Lovecraftian surrealism of 'Getting Cepholopodic'. In places, language itself mutates into something alien and phantasmagoric. 'Can you tell that I think this author's work is a major discovery in Weird Literature? Many of you, though, might have discovered his work already. And I am not yet even halfway through this collection.' D.F.Lewis "Matt Leyshon's stories manage to combine threads of dark-hued English pastoral fantasy with the logic of nightmare. Like Worzel Gummidge cast adrift in a Ligottian fever dream, these interlinked tales carve out their own niche in which to fester." Gary McMahon
