  With Eyes No Longer Blind - The...

  The city of Liebe is gone and Oscar presumed dead. With Tabby Miss Cakes adrift in a crumbling realm of myth and memory, she is not sure what’s real anymore—or if anything ever was.  
  When Oscar reappears, inexplicably alive, the two stumble into a bizarrely wholesome world where animals sand horses, kindness is weaponised and no one seems to notice the sky is falling.  
  That’s because a poet is eating reality.  
  The Ar’dath-Irr, a lunatic bard of monstrous power, is enslaving writers to pen a reality-warping Creed. His disciples are many. His Muse is now airborne and terrifying. And Oscar? He’s caught in the middle—again.  
  Teaming up with Jeffemeries, an exploding-bun enthusiast, Oscar and Tabby must navigate a surreal landscape filled with monstrous beasts, curried pumpkins, spoon-waving cultists and a clinically confused populace. But as lies unravel, their friendship—and whatever hope remains—is ravaged by an oncoming tsunami of madness.  
  Part fever dream, part odyssey, part philosophical slapstick, With Eyes No Longer Blind is a journey into utter absurdity and clinical insanity.  
  Book 2 of the Morigan Tetralogy. It’s poetic, deadly and Oscar is absolutely the wrong cat to star in it.  
  “So many misprints, it’s like an entirely new language.” - Sampson Braithwaithe.

  Three-Quarters of a Footprint -...

  Joe Roberts

  Joe Roberts stayed for five months with the Trivedis family in Bangalore, while travelling all over southern India. In Pondicherry he found Rita, a melancholic divorcee banished to an ashram. He saw the great temple at Madurai, watched the snakeboat races at Arunmala, stayed with Syriac Christians at Cochin and was offered heroin in a Jewish cemetery. Wherever he went he met extraordinary people, but these encounters take second place to his ripening friendship with the Trivedi family, and his exact chronicling of their neighbours. As Major Trividi warned him 'nothing is as fixed as you think'. Three-Quarters of a Footprint has long fascinated readers with its gentle, perceptive humour, chilled occasionally by a shadow of menace, as if the spirit and wit of R K Narayan had been reborn in an Englishman.
