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.

Along with Dune and Cloud Atlas, 3 Body Problem was one of those books once left languishing in the file marked ‘unfilmable’. But now, it seems, nothing is unfilmable – as those other two works prove – even this story that ranges from alien invasions to the political machinations of communist China and insanely complicated theoretical physics.

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.
