What an engrossing tale! I love the central conceit of insanity being the essential nature and cohesive force of the universe and the way in which the author personifies this force in the character of Gin Joe. The author's London is a foul and fetid sprawl of a place in which monsters wear Armani and drive BMWs. Wonderful. I'd be very interested to read the collection "The White Hands". I wonder if it's available here in Canada?

You can order it from Tartarus Press. BTW, I'll be running a review of this book shortly. I'll post here when it's up.
