    About this ebook

    The republic of the mind… It might have been a drug, it might have been something you scored in pub toilets, but it wasn't. It was better than that… One day everybody was going to be there.

    In this new edition of James Robertson's shorter fiction, nothing is quite what it seems. From a dysfunctional safari park to an abandoned mental hospital, from a flat overrun by frogs to a South Dakota reservation or a future Scotland riven by ethnic cleansing, the settings of these stories are both nightmarish and real, and the characters who inhabit them often heroic even in defeat.

    Angry, philosophical, funny and humane, James Robertson's stories explore the friendships strong in adversity, marriages heading for the rocks, and the lonely truths of everyday life, with the same deftness of touch that has brought critical acclaim for novels such as And the Land Lay Still and The Testament of Gideon Mack. This is a collection that will live long in your mind.

      I have to tell you a funny story about old mate, Michael Eden. We grew up in Wanganui together. Michael — who still lives there — and I have been mates for 40 of my nearly 60 years; there’s a fair-to-even chance that once he finds out I’ve put this s

      May 20, 2021

      AT 3am the other morning, I was woken by the sound of horses’ hooves clattering on the road outside our bedroom window – something untoward was going on. “Perhaps it’s a highwayman? Or it could be smugglers?” my sleep-befuddled brain suggested. “The

      The earth shook violently as the enormous metal monster closed in. It was 100m away, 50, 20 … then it was on me. As I watched its giant steel tentacle, with its whirling, screaming blade, stretch down towards me, I was conscious less of the fear of a
