This new short story collection by the author of 'The Bumper Book of Lies', 'Songshifting', 'Liquidambar', 'The Concentrated Essence of Any Number of Ravens' and 'Saccade' incorporates: * Preface by Chris Bell * 17 short stories, 4 of them first published in international anthologies * 13 previously unpublished stories * A story about to appear in 'The Five Senses of Horror' * An eclectic playlist of recommended music to accompany the stories. What reviewers said about Chris Bell's first story collection 'Bumper Book of Lies': Nice production and an attractive, hefty little paperback of 251 pages ELLEN DATLOW, 'The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror' (10th Edition) Bell's stories fully succeed in their stated intention of being 'incantation[s] to summon an atmosphere' PAUL DI FILIPPO, writer and critic, 'On Books', 'Asimov's Science Fiction' 'The Bumper Book of Lies' is gorgeous! Quite possibly the nicest small press publication we've seen in years SALLY McBRIDE, co-editor, 'TransVersions' (Canada) I was incredibly impressed... For those who enjoy original, creative writing, I highly recommend this book of stories KELLI J. SMITH, editor, 'Infidels & Popstars' Face In Things: Haunted phones; unforgettable sandwiches; celebrity cults; warrior ghosts; consumer greed; unearthly landscapes; urban living; urbane dating; inspirational perfume; a captivating portrait; man overboard; buggy implants; a grieving heart; a paean to a closed-down restaurant; an unhinged man evoking a murdered woman's past; a tantalisingly familiar jazz pianist revealing secrets of the Bronx; and the futile search for a perfect weekend. We're all searching for recognition, for faces in things, trying to make sense of the past in order to face the unknown future. This new collection of stories from the author of 'The Bumper Book of Lies', 'Liquidambar', 'Songshifting' and 'Saccade' draws on multiple genres and influences to create an homage to nostalgia, memory, music and longing.
