Helium
Once Gary had been ¿Gary Wilder and the Hi-Tones ¿ live on stage tonight¿. But that was before he let everything drift away: his folks, his wife, the band, the shower curtains... And this is now ¿ a bizarre bad hair day made worse by the reappearance of Kent Treacy, acid casualty guitarist from the days when the old surf band mutated into The High in a chemical haze. Kent¿s warped perspective on the gravity of Gary¿s situation proves unexpectedly influential as the lightness in Gary¿s step becomes of great interest to NASA.

Spoils of War
A special forces soldier heads to Baghdad for a contract assignment—and winds up entangled in a million-dollar heist . . . Mitchell Walker thought he’d hung up his guns for good. But when his daughter is hit by a life-threatening disease, he needs money, fast. The kind of money that only a private military operator in the most dangerous city in the world can make. Walker is set to work for Paveway, a company run by his old special forces buddy, which handles outsourced military contracts for the Ministry of the Interior in Baghdad. But from the moment he touches down in the Middle East, it quickly becomes clear that it’s going to be anything but easy. The aptly nicknamed “Mad Mitch” soon finds himself mixed up in a million-dollar heist of US funding—and he has no choice but to see it through to the end, in a thriller that spans from the war-torn hellhole of Baghdad to the glittering towers of Dubai. “A great read that takes you right into the heart of the action.” —Tom Kasey, bestselling author of Trade Off
Weird Fiction and Science at the Fin de Siècle
This book explores how nineteenth-century science stimulated the emergence of weird tales at the fin de siècle, and examines weird fiction by British writers who preceded and influenced H. P. Lovecraft, the most famous author of weird fiction. From laboratory experiments, thermodynamics, and Darwinian evolutionary theory to psychology, Theosophy, and the ‘new’ physics of atoms and forces, science illuminated supernatural realms with rational theories and practices. Changing scientific philosophies and questioning of traditional positivism produced new ways of knowing the world—fertile borderlands for fictional as well as real-world scientists to explore. Reading Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) as an inaugural weird tale, the author goes on to analyse stories by Arthur Machen, Edith Nesbit, H. G. Wells, William Hope Hodgson, E. and H. Heron, and Algernon Blackwood to show how this radical fantasy mode can be scientific, and how sciences themselves were often already weird.
