Signed by the author. Beautiful sprayed edges. Includes an exclusive short story called English Heritage.
Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artefacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid. It feels like the end. Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artefact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows.
M. John Harrison is the closest thing we have to a present-day Wyndham or Ballard * New Statesman *
The End Of Everything is at once surreal, seductive, shrewdly funny and wholly terrifying. It proves (yet again) that M. John Harrison is a complete original, and one of the finest working writers we have -- Julia Armfield
The End of Everything, a novel of absences and apparitions, of things almost recognised and far from understood, has little to do with the details, and everything to do with the tenor of how we live now. It will get deep into your bones -- Chris Power
A towering genius of modern fiction -- China Mieville
Harrison is without peer as a chronicler of the fraught, unsteady state we're in -- Olivia Laing
One of the best writers of fiction currently at work in English -- Robert Macfarlane
With M. John Harrison, you're never quite sure what you're reading or where it will take you next. There are only a few certainties: that it will surprise you, sometimes astound you, and leave you profoundly changed' -- Jonathan Coe, author of The Rotters' Club
M. John Harrison, the best British writer you've never heard of, operates on the margins. Unusual and impressive * Sunday Times *
Future critics will find in his writing a distinct, clear-eyed vision of late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century life * Times Literary Supplement *
M John Harrison writes astonishingly on the page of course, but he must also be doing something else. This book is both a dream and the dream state itself. I don't know what else to say - it feels beyond reading. Disturbing and yet revelatory. He's changed the world here." -- Ben Pester, author of The Expansion Project

A glorious celebration of curiosity and nature. OBSERVER
A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, THE SPECTATOR, FINANCIAL TIMES, OBSERVER AND NEW STATESMAN
In 1781, Gilbert White was a humble country curate. He was also halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne. No one had written like this before, with such close observation, humour, and sympathy. His spellbinding book has remained in print ever since, treasured by generations of readers. It would lead many to consider him the father of ecology.
Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky, warm-hearted man. Tracing a single year of his daily fascination with the fauna, flora and people around him, she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest.
Fresh, alive and original A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder.
A feast of a book, it is beautifully illustrated and compulsively readable.LITERARY REVIEW
