Mostly Monochrome Stories
By turns unsettling, absurd and poignant, the splintered universe of John Travis, is a surreal, many-hued merry go-round of the imagination where reality, fantasy and hallucination meet in explosions of nightmare and wonder. Here you will meet the man who nailed himself to a bench, some very sinister stationery, a vampire with an embarrassing weakness and the widower who could not let go. Take a walk with a feline detective down the mean streets of a world where humanity has been usurped by its pets, make sure you say your prayers before getting into bed lest you end up in the terrifying world of Pyjamarama ...you are present at the flowering of wonderful new talent - an inspired and truly gifted writer by the name of John Travis. Simon Clark. John Travis is one of the most imaginative and original new voices in dark fiction. His work is insightful, often surreal, and always moving. Tim Lebbon. Cover art by Faye Grimwood
Gaseous Clay and Other Ambivalent Tales
The ultimate digestion of insecurity in a very strange hotel A hard-hitting fairground fever-dream The new king of the maggots and bloody piano keys A foul-mouthed talking mockingbird in American suburbia A bizarre crime caper at what may just be the end of the world And a chilling supernatural brush with a very badly made clay owl John Travis's writing blurs between genres, rooted in many but coming with his own unique style. His stories are weird, subtle, grotesque, emotional, intelligent, human and surreal, existing in an area somewhere between horror and outsider art. Reading them, one gets the feeling that they are connected to both British horror writing and to more experimental and unusual threads as you explore the quiet backwarters of life in the UK and elsewhere, blended with wild psychological mayhem and terrifying supernatural happenings. This volume collects 16 stories, several never before published. Each is distinctive and individual, and together they form a spectacular example of British Slipstream writing.
