Tom Lockington: 2 books

Twelve interviews with writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror, conducted in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Interviewees include Ramsey Campbell, John Clute, Dennis Etchison and Peter Straub. Plus one long article on Huraki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

Everyone is wounded...but no one has been hurt physically. Not yet. Great damage has been done -- psychologically and emotionally -- and this novel shows gulfs in perception between spouses, siblings and classes; between mid-90s London and a terrifying view of the countryside; between perceptions of reality. Characters inspect each another's wounds...like animals. Frightened animals.
