In 2016 the Science Fiction Book Club will be scheduling an occasional series of works exploring altered states of consciousnesses, our perceptions of reality, alien thinking, head culture and general psychedelia, which is be entitled MindFuck! And we are very proud to announce Jeff Noon’s 1994 Arthur C. Clarke Award winning Vurt as it’s first work.
Take a trip in a stranger’s head. Travel rain-shot streets with a gang of hip malcontents, hooked on the most powerful drug you can imagine. Yet Vurt feathers are not for the weak. As the mysterious Game Cat says, “Be careful, be very careful”. But Scribble isn’t listening. He has to find his lost love. His journey is a mission to find Curious Yellow, the ultimate, perhaps even mythical Vurt feather. As the most powerful narcotic of all, Scribble must be prepared to leave his current reality behind.
“Vurt was an SF novel that was really fresh and peculiar”
William Gibson
“Transgressive. It got under your skin like Cronenberg, or like Poppy Brite”
Chuck Wendig,
“Vurt is a gripping piece of speculative fiction”
