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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume collects 16 stories, several never before published. Each is distinctive and individual, and together they form a spectacular example of British Slipstream writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Travis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913766128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913766122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eibonvale Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"John Travis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48486303367423,"sku":"9781913766122","price":30.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc8aab78-7645-4d90-8e43-0a25d0c72219.jpg?v=1778054803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gaseous-clay-and-other-ambivalent-john-travis-9781913766122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
