'Wonderfully weird and weirdly wonderful' Karen Joy Fowler
FROM THE AUTHOR OF SKY DADDY
Uncanny, creepy and off-kilter'
Daily Mail
'For readers who consider body horror to be a love language'
New York Times
'Captures the lunacy of the moment we're living through'
San Francisco Chronicle
A woman uses dating apps to find a partner, despite the threat posed by 'blots', artificial men more interested in stealing data than dating. A sculptor, trapped in a skyscraper restaurant when a violent coup erupts below, creates a perfect model of the town as it is destroyed. A curtain of void obliterates the world at a steady pace, leaving one woman to decide with whom she wants to spend eternity.
Haunting and darkly inventive, the stories in Out There deftly combine science fiction and horror to uncover an unforgettable vision of the absurdity of life in the digital age.
'The literary love child of Kafka and Camus and Bradbury penning episodes of Black Mirror' Chang-Rae Lee, author of Native Speaker
