I used to own a copy of Perdido Street Station, but never got round to reading it (too many books, too little time), so the collection Three Moments of an Explosion: Stories is my long overdue introduction to the work of China Miéville. Originally published by Macmillan in hardback in 2015, the collection contains twenty eight stories, many of which are vignettes and more than a few that could be categorised either as horror or tangential to the genre.

I Will Surround You is the third short story collection from Manchester based writer Conrad Williams. It was released by Undertow Publications in 2017 and contains fourteen stories, six of which I've reviewed on previous occasions and two of which are original to the collection. The collection is shown as SOLD OUT on the publisher's website, but you can still grab a used copy on Amazon UK.

The debut collection from Eric Schaller, Meet Me in the Middle of the Air was released by Undertow Publications in 2016. I read the book when it came out and again in 2021, and now I'm going to write a review because I move in mysterious ways. Meet Me is shown as SOLD OUT on the publisher's website, but Amazon UK has used copies. If after reading this review, Schaller sounds like your cup of tea, then the author published a second collection, Voice of the Stranger, in March of last year.

This will be the last of my late, late reviews, unless I stumble across another cache of draft reviews that never came to fruition. Next week we'll be back to publishing reviews that are merely late, meaning books less than ten years old, rather than touching twenty.

I'm not sure about the provenance of The Ephemera - I might have bought a copy of the book, rather than received one specifically for review, but we'll give it the benefit of the doubt and patch together a review from notes I made many years ago. Published by Elastic Press in 2006 and read by me in the same year, The Ephemera was Neil Williamson's first story collection and it was ten years before he produced another (Secret Language which I reviewed on this website on 31 May last year).
