Tomislav Tikulin (illustrator). London: PS Publishing:, 2014. First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 72 pp. Cover artwork by: Tomislav Tikulin "Ellie doesn't understand children. She doesn't understand what they want or what makes them happy. She doesn't understand why they're so mean. Adults are no better. Her mother spends her days consoling sad, lonely men, mysteriously easing their grief; men like Funeral Lou, lost in his own sorrow, tenderly embalming the dead. Only Joseph offers Ellie a ray of hope, pointing to a brighter path through the darkness, his carved tiger a symbol of beauty in a morally ambiguous world. A world full of conflicted souls like Gregory, the man Ellie meets in the park, with the colourful, unusual fruit . . . Strange Fruit is a haunting tale of a young girl's coming-of age; a dazzling narrative of heartache and hope." First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket,

First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 126 pp. Cover artwork by: Galen Dara "All Ryan wanted to do is stay inside on an autumn day and play his favorite fantasy roleplaying video game, Wild Hunt Online, where he creeps through dark forests hunting magical creatures and dodging malevolent monsters. But his parents send him out to get some fresh air, and he wanders into the scraggly patch of woods behind his house. (Yeah, right-Hey, Ryan . . . don't do it! Nah, they never listen, do they!)

Christopher Walker (illustrator). London: PS Publishing:, 2011. First edition, Hardcover, SIGNED limited, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 139 pp. Cover artwork by: Christopher Walker This edition limited to 100 numbered copies signed by the author. "Humankind can travel to the stars - but only if you're sure of yourself. Content to be flung as a data stream through space, flitting from male to female, dark to fair, tall to short to broad, one random discard body to the next. Those who go are the Upshot, rare individuals subject to their own rigid laws. And then there's Rotten Row. Outcast from the Upshot community, in breach of all codes, in Rotten Row people design their own bodies and sell them on for re-use after. Outlandish bodies: furred and feathered, winged and hooved and worse. duLaine is an artist, but all art is about identity; where one blurs into the other beyond physical limits and legal restraint, what is art worth and how can anyone be certain who they are? duLaine travels to Rotten Row in search of answers, and finds himself snared by passions, plots and betrayals beyond his worst imaginings, far beyond his ability to control."

First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 112 pp. Cover artwork by: Pete Von Sholly "When (comparatively speaking) time machines run out of power in the wrong bit of spacetime, the intrepid, laid-back crew of the Time Machine Salvage Ship have a job to do-helped by their on-board A.I., Homer, who homes in. However, this time things go awry for Xiaolong and Ngela and Zbeth and Yatta. Soon (comparatively speaking) they are involved with aliens who were stored in stasis under the Antarctic icecap-which melted when an asteroid hit the south polar regions a glancing blow in our own near future, as everyone knows. Did something aim the asteroid? What and whence the Tall Ones, which have heads like those of hammerhead sharks? Might the far future bring into being a Boltzmann Brain?-yes, one of those! Why are there so many chickens in the year 2776? Why, in the silence of space, does the Time Machine Salvage Ship have a ship's bell? And does Homer have a private agenda? There's also some ado about the nature of Nothing. And a Creation Geologist woman from Kristian Homeland USA. Plus, golden humanoid robots are operating a circus. Partly set in Antarctica-as well as in Australia's capital, Cranberry; also in the tunnels of dwarf planet Ceres where giant spiders dwell, and in a totally empty universe, and a few other places-The Brain from Beyond resolves its enigmas in sprightly vein."

Stephen Palmer (illustrator). London: PS Publishing:, 2010. First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 309 pp. Cover artwork by: Stephen Palmer Huh? "A million years in the future, two ecosystems stand opposed. The first, Nature, has faded, and exists only as isolated havens or, in the wider world, as biomes perverted by artifice into hideous forms. And against it stands the manufacturing ecosystem, which has evolved into a myriad lifelike shapes, yet offers only an antiseptic brutality. The land itself has changed. It is mutable. Maps remain accurate for little more than decades in Urbis Morpheos, the great manufactured environment that once was Earth. In this bleak and hostile world live two women, Psolilai and psolilai, both of whom are on a mission. Psolilai (who dreams of psolilai) seeks wisdom following the funeral of her uncle and the discovery of a mysterious scriber. psolilai (who dreams of Psolilai) seeks 3Machines, the owl, the fount of wisdom of the great haven of Mahandriana, which is composed entirely of fungus. Both of these women have as their aide the peripatetic mycologist Gularvhen, who knows more than he says and who rides a three-eared horse with six voices. For in Urbis Morpheos the artificial computing system is scarlet and deadly, while the natural knowledge system is soft and fungal, full of secrets. What is the truth of the ancient artifacts The Constructor and The Transmuter? What is the connection between them, the shapeshifting malleads and the sentients of the manufacturing ecosystem, the agens? In a world so numinous with artificial mystery most people have forgotten their origins in nature, Psolilai and psolilai must follow their paths and find wisdom. But men and devices stand in their way. And the most powerful being in Urbis Morpheos perhaps has hidden plans." First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket,

James Hannah (illustrator). London: PS Publishing:, 2007. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, Fine, 123 pp. Cover artwork by: James Hannah "Teenagers Maddy and Rogan Tierney are cousins, two among dozens living in a tumbledown family enclave outside New York. Secretly, or not so secretly, the pair are lovers, and if this weren't bad enough, they are also drawn to the stage, to music, reviving a Tierney tradition of artistic involvement long since abandoned for more practical, worldly pursuits. Parents and siblings radiate disapproval. But encouraged by their mysterious Aunt Kate, and by a magically animated toy theatre hidden in a forgotten attic room, Rogan and Maddy become involved in a school production of Twelfth Night. Their own lives eerily echoing the play's concerns with twinning and disguise, they are thereby destined for brief apotheosis and lasting heartbreak, in a narrative of stark emotional power and potent nostalgic richness."

Jim Burns (illustrator). London: PS Publishing:, 2014. First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 539 pp. Cover artwork by: Jim Burns "In 'An Appeal to Adolf' the Third Reich invades England by way of very long battleships bridging the Channel, while two gay sailors fret about the Führer's hatred for Wittgenstein. In 'The Great Escape' rebel angels set Hell in motion towards a very distant God, planning to harpoon the deity. 'Swimming with the Salmon' tells of the seduction by pheromones of a Scottish priestess who looks after genetically engineered superfish; while in 'The Moon and Michelangelo' a stone mason from Oxford achieves a petrifying transcendence on an alien planet. In Jerusalem a gate opens to a domain of inexplicable beings; while in ancient Babylon, recreated in the Arizona desert, immigrants from our own time encounter strange destinies. Here is science fiction of the highest calibre, and horror too, while other stories are surreally fantastical. So as to cut to the cream, this selection by the author is guided by public opinion in the form of nominations for awards, inclusion in 'best of the year' anthologies as well as in other reprint volumes, and the number of translations over the years, although he has also slipped in some of his own less acknowledged favourites. Altogether this is an amazing showcase of treasures spanning 30 years from Ian Watson's pen (and typewriter, and computer)." First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket,

Edward Miller (illustrator). London: PS Publishing:, 2010. First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 273 pp. Cover artwork by: Edward Miller Here's what PS has to say about this book: Did you grow up on a diet of catastrophe novels? Classics such as "War of the Worlds", "Death of Grass", "Day of the Triffids", "Greybeard", "The Purple Cloud" and so forth? Did you hone your teen angst through a diet of disaster stories? This book won't exactly take you back to that Golden Age . . . because the purpose of "Catastrophia" is to revitalize this sub-genre of Science Fiction for the early twenty-first century. To bring a modern sensibility and craft to the business of ending the world as we know it. These days, there's plenty of catastrophe on screen - whether it be at the cinema or on TV - but we have somewhat let the subject slip in the literary world. No longer! Contributors include Adam Roberts, Simon Clark, Stuart Young and Brian Aldiss. Catastrophe stories, what fun! Also available in an elaborate, signed traycased edition.
