A major novel of perversity and pleasure from a richly exciting new literary talent. Apparently orphaned in a foreign land engulfed by civil war, Tamara finds herself in an isolated and notoriously mismanaged home for abandoned children.
Initially unable to comprehend the local language, she attempts to communicate nonverbally, having seemingly lost the faculty of speech. Unaware of her parents' true whereabouts – or whether in fact they are even alive – Tamara struggles to make herself understood and to survive in this alien environment where chaos reigns and brutality – or sheer indifference – unfortunately appears to be the norm.
A sinister cast of characters duly appears, including the glamorous but corrupt Director, her overbearingly sadistic partner the Doctor, not to mention the Father – a perverse cleric with a penchant for cruelty – amongst other unsavoury and remorseless individuals, all enforcing a strict hierarchy between the adults and the children (and thus the perpetrators and the victims of institutionalised violence).
Meanwhile, a number of different voices or alters jostle for psychic dominance over Tamara's internal narrative; through various temporal shifts, rotations and leaps in chronological perspective our heroine's journey – both geographical and psychological – is described in a disintegrating arc of obscure recollections, fragmented diary entries and increasingly obscene erotic fantasies.
Conversely, these kaleidoscopic projections, delirious daydreams and compulsive diatribes gradually accumulate to articulate a traumatised inner topography that mirrors the devasted and desolate external landscape of a perpetual war zone.... -

"Sixth grade camp could have been a prime opportunity for faggotry had I been a little less awkward and introverted. I could have been blowing schoolmates in the middle of the night, the attendant asleep in the office, dreaming of his mother and acres of forest fires."
"A profoundly disquieting and sombre meditation, written in vivid and and masterfully controlled incantatory prose. One of the grimmest, hypnotically fucked up and most important books we've published. A major find." - Philip Best

Isabelle Nicou is a major French literary writer, dealing in explicit themes and appearing in English translation for the very first time.
"The asphalt was still swaying to the sound of the neume, reverberating off the metal bodies of cars, when, lying on the sidewalk on boulevard de Sébastopol, teeth grinding, I distinctly heard a voice breathe behind me: 'Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Is this how the child leaped in your womb?'"
A claustrophobic novel of poisonous desire. -

"The taste of my skin nauseates you, but my breath doesn't disgust you as much as the thought of what people might make of your nausea. Burrowed in the veins that quiver at my temples, I can glimpse the fissure in the one who so skillfully broke me in half. My inhibition is only a veneer; don't cry victory."
An erotic novel of hypnotic abandon. -

A dizzying, kaleidoscopic work of filial obligation, literary mentorship and childhood dreams of alien abduction.
"In Harry’s suburban house, cluttered with books and stacks of papers, time was bending in an elliptical orb that never failed to constrain me during the few months broken by vacations and interruptions—several, for Harry was often invited abroad—where I went once a week to, as my famous mentor put it, “assist” him.
"Around 9:30 in the morning, after he had come—often still in pajamas over which he put on a putty-colored raincoat—to look for me at the train station in his white Fiat Panda, after we had a cup of coffee in the kitchen and greeted his wife who was leaving for her job in Paris, in the fifth arrondissement, just a few streets over from my studio, I had to climb the stairs and get started."
Suffused with eroticism and troubling despair, Stricture is the work of a major talent at the very height of her considerable powers.

“A series of shit dominoes forever falling onto each other; the bloodline never stops creating a firm continual history of behavioural mess.”
It’s comedy night on the terminal ward. Jason Williamson returns with thirteen all-new short stories from a grim and desperate world where everything is either ‘knackered and shit or new and shit.’
Sound familiar? Here you’ll meet roaming loners, twats in fast cars, hard men telling porkies, strong women who know the score, various music maniacs and sex-addled, whizz-infested pub warts galore. But it’s not all abject fucking misery, Williamson’s characters come alive and somehow manage to conjure some happy days from the endless, panicked slog of caged poverty and bad choices.
So settle down for some porn barks, crap nature, terrible housing and dogging hotspots. Life à la fuckin sniff innit.
Jason Williamson is, of course, in the Sleaford Mods

Among the writers of the first collection is Sleaford Mods' Jason Williamson, who's turned his pen to a collection of five stories titled Slabs From Paradise.” Quietus -

In psychological warfare, a rigorous thirst for perversion is a definite advantage.
Welcome to the last crusade. Imagine GG Allin teaming up with Louis-Ferdinand Celine to right all the wrongs of this fallen, corrupted world. Join a merry band of chronic degenerates as they fuck and slaughter their way across the ruins of revolutionary France.
That's 21st century revolutionary France. Islamist terror attacks, rustic rebellions, blatant atrocities, scatological derangement and host of other comic misadventures worthy of Rabelais at his most splenetic. And disgusting.
Amphetamine Sulphate is proud to present this provocative and astonishing French mock-literary punk epic, appearing in English translation for the very first time.

"My more-or-less gay friends would often confess a lot of formerly-unspoken details to their pasts when smoking meth in front of and sometimes with me while I had been living with one of them. I think their particular mental imbalances coupled with the obstruction of their addiction was what made them deluded enough to be convinced they could pass as straight to acquaintances. What was occasionally supposed to be a quick round before hitting the bars would sometimes turn into extended spun-out conversations beneath the harsh kitchen fluorescent." -
