The Bicameral Press
WELCOME TO THE NEW ABNORMAL! Award-nominated writer, KEK-W, presents a sextet of weird tales that blend Horror and Absurdism with the banal strangeness of Post-War British Science Fiction, summoning up a future-past that is fantastical and disturbing, yet oddly familiar.
The enigmatic KEK-W is a West Country based author most notable for his work on 'The Galaxy's Greatest Comic' on 'Judge Dredd', 'Rogue Trooper' and 'Dark Judges: Fall of Deadworld'. This engaging little prose collection however is available from his own Bandcamp page and showcases a different side of his imagination.
Here we have six short weird tales that put me in mind of the likes of M. John Harrison and Joel Lane. The stories range from Prisoner style dystopian spy-fi - which I could very happily have kept reading for the entire book; through hermitic territory wars; dadaist, Kafkaesque bureaucratic hellscapes and half-remembered books to a techno-apocalypse and the Dreamtime.
Altogether it made for an entirely fascinating read and one that held the potential for more extraordinary excursions to come.
