Glimmering by Elizabeth Hand
An audacious exploration of the violent margins and decadent centre of a world giving birth to a new millennium. Will it be still-born or new-born? It is 1999. The Last Days say some; The First, claim others. The climate is warming, the evening skies are awash with dreamy, multi-coloured lights, and underground cults are preparing for the frenzy of all frenzies – The Night of the Thousand Years. Jack Finnegan, the world’s last literary publisher, is dying of AIDS; Trip Marlowe, VR rock star, is dying from too many mind-expanding excursions courtesy of IZE; and Leonard Thrope is coming to town with his wonderful life-restoring elixir. Trippy sex, new age revivals and the hottest hallucinogens the imagination can buy – it must be the time of the Glimmering.Praise for Elizabeth Hand:

CLIVE BARKER
‘A potent socio-erotic story for our looming Millennium… Hand’s high resolution narrative never falters’
