A Scruffian Survival Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780244015992)

Urchins scrobbled down the centuries from yer poor and persecuted. Foundlings Fixed in imperishable waifhood by the Stamp & sold to rich groanhuffs as child labour. Hellions with spirits as resilient as their flesh, less like to cower from a kick than nick yer boot, hamstring yer and fuckin leg it. That's what it is to be a Scruffian, mate, and there ain't a rhyme sung or tale told in a Scruffian squat that ain't, at the end of the day, out to learn yer how to survive. So cosy in, scamps, quit yer fidgeting, and hark to the fabbler of this here crib... Aimed at readers old and new, as latest instalment or stand-alone introduction, A Scruffian Survival Guide collects five new works of dark queer fantasy in the "Scruffian" series. "The post- post- modern Victorian fables that comprise Hal Duncan's The Scruffian Survival Guide inhabit a unique dark fantasy world - a feral dream. The language is mad genius." -- Jeffrey Ford
