As heard on BBC Radio 4's Front Row: the radical dystopian classic,
lost for forty years: in a nightmarish Britain, THEY are coming
closer. 'A creepily prescient tale ... Insidiously horrifying!'
Margaret Atwood 'A masterpiece of creeping dread.' Emily St. John
Mandel This is Britain: but not as we know it. THEY begin with a
dead dog, shadowy footsteps, confiscated books. Soon the National
Gallery is purged; eerie towers survey the coast; mobs stalk the
countryside destroying artworks - and those who resist. THEY
capture dissidents - writers, painters, musicians, even the
unmarried and childless - in military sweeps, 'curing' these
subversives of individual identity. Survivors gather together as
cultural refugees, preserving their crafts, creating, loving and
remembering. But THEY make it easier to forget ... Lost for half a
century, newly introduced by Carmen Maria Machado, Kay Dick's They
(1977) is a rediscovered dystopian masterpiece of art under attack:
a cry from the soul against censorship, a radical celebration of
non-conformity - and a warning. 'Every bit as creepy, tense and
strange as when I first read it 40 years ago.' Ian Rankin
'Delicious and sexy and downright chilling ... Read it!' Rumaan
Alam 'Crystalline ... The signature of an enchantress.' Edna
O'Brien 'I'm pretty wild about this paranoid, terrifying 1977
masterpiece.' Lauren Groff 'Deft, dread filled, hypnotic and
hopeful. Completely got under my skin.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave
'Lush, hypnotic, compulsive ... A reminder of where groupthink
leads.' Eimear McBride 'A masterwork of English pastoral horror:
eerie and bewitching.' Claire-Louise Bennett 'A short shocker:
creepy, disturbing, distressing and highly enjoyable.' Andrew
Hunter Murray 'Prophetic, chilling and a reminder from the past
that we have everything to fight for in the future.' Salena Godden
