Harrison M. John Title : Vorrei essere qui
Author: Harrison M. John
Publisher: Mercurio Books

Ci sono libri che segnano, nella vita di chi legge, un prima e un dopo. Libri che parlano in profondità di chi siamo, di come raccontiamo noi stessi, libri che sono apparizioni destinate a lasciare una traccia, libri che assomigliano a glitch, a fantasmi, ad alter ego che svaniscono dopo averli appena intravisti, a sogni che la mattina presto rimangono impigliati negli occhi. 'Vorrei essere qui' è uno di questi libri. M. John Harrison, scrittore, maestro del weird, personaggio fantasmatico, diventa in questo libro l'oggetto della sua stessa ricerca, in una ricostruzione attraverso quarant'anni di appunti, di note, di taccuini. La sua è una scrittura che oggi non ha eguali, che insegna a leggere e a scrivere allo stesso tempo, in un susseguirsi instancabile di rivelazioni. Questo antimemoir è il racconto di chi, andando indietro nel tempo, non si trova più dove dovrebbe essere e che allora si fa carne sospesa, aggrappata a rocce scivolose, oppure perduta, tra sentieri non battuti, avvolti nella nebbia. Osannato dalla critica e premiato dal pubblico, 'Vorrei essere qui' è un libro completamente a sé, una di quelle opere così rare capaci di cambiare per sempre il modo in cui guardiamo al ricordo, al mondo e alla letteratura. La verità, in fin dei conti, è solo questa: più che la vita, a essere misterioso è il racconto che ne facciamo. Se è esistito davvero, se è nato ed è cresciuto e ha scritto libri, dove possiamo ritrovarlo oggi? In quali ricordi? In questo libro, che è un viaggio nella sua formazione di scrittore e del genere di cui è maestro, l'autore stesso diventa l'ogge

Harrison M. John Title : Empty Space
Author: Harrison M. John
Publisher: Victor Gollancz

From a writer acclaimed for his high-concept SF and stunning prose comes the final chapter in the multi-award-winning trilogy that began with Light and Nova Swing
This space adventure begins with the following dream: An alien research tool the size of a brown dwarf star hangs in the middle of nowhere, as a result of an attempt to place it equidistant from everything else in every possible universe. Somewhere in the fractal labyrinth beneath its surface, a woman lies on an allotropic carbon deck, a white paste of nanomachines oozing from the corner of her mouth. She is neither conscious nor unconscious, dead nor alive. There is something wrong with her cheekbones. At first you think she is changing from one thing into another—perhaps it's a cat, perhaps it's something that only looks like one—then you see that she is actually trying to be both things at once. She is waiting for you, she has been waiting for you for perhaps 10,000 years. She comes from the past, she comes from the future. She is about to speak. Empty Space is a sequel to Light and Nova Swing, three strands presented in alternating chapters which will work their way separately back to this image of frozen transformation.

Harrison M. John Title : Empty Space
Author: Harrison M. John
Publisher: Nightshade Book

One of science fiction’s premiere stylists, M. John Harrison has received abundant praise and awards for his wildly imaginative ideas and transcendent prose. Now he returns to the richly complex universe of Light and Nova Swing with a stunning new novel that braids three glittering strands into a tapestry that spans vast reaches of time and space.

In the near future, an elderly English widow is stirred from her mundane existence by surreal omens and visitations. Centuries later, the space freighter Nova Swing takes on an illegal alien artifact as cargo, with consequences beyond reckoning. While on a distant planet, a nameless policewoman tries to bring order to an event zone where ordinary physics do not apply, only to find herself caught up in something even stranger and more sublime. . . .

Harrison M. John Title : Nova Swing
Author: Harrison M. John
Publisher: Spectra

Set in the unique world first featured in the award-winning Light, here is a story of love, murder, and intergalactic noir on the razor's edge of the imagination, as envisioned by the incomparable M. John Harrison.

Not far from Moneytown, in a neighborhood of underground clubs, body-modification chop shops, adolescent contract killers, and sexy streetwalking Monas, you'll find the Saudade Event Site: a zone of strange geography, twisted physics, and frightening psychic onslaughts. Vic Serotonin is an illegal “travel agent” into and out of Saudade. His latest client is a woman as unpredictable as the site itself—and maybe as dangerous. She wants a tour inside Saudade just as a troubling new class of biological artifacts have started leaving—living algorithms that are transforming the “real” world in unsettling ways. Pursued by a detective intent on collaring him for his illegal tours, and hunted by a gangster convinced that the travel agent has infected him with a rogue artifact, Vic must make one final trip as the universe around him rapidly veers toward viral chaos.

Harrison M. John Title : Nova Swing
Author: Harrison M. John
Publisher: Spectra

Years after Ed Chianese's fateful trip into the Kefahuchi Tract, the tract has begun to expand and change in ways we never could have predicted—and, even more terrifying, parts of it have actually begun to fall to Earth, transforming the landscapes they encounter.

Not far from Moneytown, in a neighborhood of underground clubs, body-modification chop shops, adolescent contract killers, and sexy streetwalking Monas, you'll find the Saudade Event Site: a zone of strange geography, twisted physics, and frightening psychic onslaughts—not to mention the black and white cats that come pouring out at irregular intervals.

Vic Serotonin is a “travel agent” into and out of Saudade. His latest client is a woman who's nearly as unpredictable as the site itself—and maybe just as dangerous. She wants a tour just as a troubling new class of biological artifacts are leaving the site—living algorithms that are transforming the world outside in inexplicable and unsettling ways. Shadowed by a metaphysically inclined detective determined to shut his illegal operation down, Vic must make sense of a universe rapidly veering toward a virulent and viral form of chaos…and a humanity almost lost.

Harrison M. John, Lloyd David (ILT) Title : The Course of the Heart
Author: Harrison M. John, Lloyd David (ILT)
Publisher: Nightshade Book

John M. Harrison delivers an extraordinary, genre-bending novel that weaves together mythology, sexuality, and the troubled past and present of Eastern Europe. It begins on a hot May night, when three Cambridge students carry out a ritualistic act that changes their lives. Years later, none of the participants can remember what exactly transpired; but their clouded memories can't rid them of an overwhelming sense of dread. Pam Stuyvesant is an epileptic haunted by strange sensual visions. Her husband Lucas believes that a dwarfish creature is stalking him. Self-styled Sorcerer Yaxley becomes obsessed with a terrifyingly transcendent reality. The seemingly least effected participant in the ritual (who is haunted by the smell of roses) attempts to help his friends escape the torment that has engulfed their lives.

Harrison M. John Title : Light
Author: Harrison M. John
Publisher: Spectra

In M. John Harrison's dangerously illuminating new novel, three quantum outlaws face a universe of their own creation, a universe where you make up the rules as you go along and break them just as fast, where there's only one thing more mysterious than darkness.

In contemporary London, Michael Kearney is a serial killer on the run from the entity that drives him to kill. He is seeking escape in a future that doesn' t yet exist—a quantum world that he and his physicist partner hope to access through a breach of time and space itself. In this future, Seria Mau Genlicher has already sacrificed her body to merge into the systems of her starship, the White Cat. But the “inhuman” K-ship captain has gone rogue, pirating the galaxy while playing cat and mouse with the authorities who made her what she is. In this future, Ed Chianese, a drifter and adventurer, has ridden dynaflow ships, run old alien mazes, surfed stellar envelopes. He “went deep”—and lived to tell about it. Once crazy for life, he's now just a twink on New Venusport, addicted to the bizarre alternate realities found in the tanks—and in debt to all the wrong people.

Haunting them all through this maze of menace and mystery is the shadowy presence of the Shrander—and three enigmatic clues left on the barren surface of an asteroid under an ocean of light known as the Kefahuchi Tract: a deserted spaceship, a pair of bone dice, and a human skeleton.
