First book I've read in a single sitting since, well, Geoff's HIM. As ever completely unlike anything he's written before (but connections to THE CHILD GARDEN.

Finally doing my professorial inaugural lecture on 5 December in Bristol. If you’ve not had a personal invite, it’s not because I don’t love you, it’s because you try putting together a guest list on these meds. DM me and I’ll send you the registration link.
