'A wonderful collection, brilliant and often moving ... Both
mind-expanding and cosmic while utterly rooted in our urban
reality' NEIL GAIMAN 'One of the great fiction minds of his
generation' ROLLING STONE In his first-ever short story collection,
which spans forty years of work and features many
never-before-published pieces, international bestselling author and
legendary creator of From Hell, The League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen and other modern classics, Alan Moore, presents nine
stories full of wonder and strangeness, each taking us deeper into
the fantastical underside of reality. In A Hypothetical Lizard, two
concubines in a brothel for fantastical specialists fall in love,
with tragic ramifications. In Not Even Legend, a paranormal study
group is infiltrated by one of the otherworldly beings they seek to
investigate. In Illuminations, a nostalgic older man decides to
visit a seaside resort from his youth and finds the past all too
close at hand. And in the monumental novella What We Can Know About
Thunderman, which charts the surreal and Kafkaesque history of the
comics industry over the last seventy-five years through several
sometimes-naive and sometimes-maniacal people rising and falling on
its career ladders, Moore reveals the dark, beating heart of the
superhero business. From ghosts and otherworldly creatures to
theoretical Boltzmann brains fashioning the universe at the big
bang, Illuminations is exactly that - a series of bright, startling
tales from a contemporary legend that reveal the full power of
imagination and magic. 'One of the most significant fiction writers
in English ... Moore’s influence can be felt everywhere—in our
literature, on our screens, in our politics' GUARDIAN
