    Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons gathers sixteen phenomenal
    writers of the Chinese language in their English debut: eight fiction
    writers, six poets, and two essayists. Amongst these dazzling tellings,
    the planets are being pulled closer to the earth; a treasured classical
    fiction holds the secrets of the universe; shameful acts of urban
    ennui are committed over- and underground; a couple navigates the
    phantasmagoric border between life and death; the classrooms of the
    eighties and nineties are fleetingly free.
    Ranging from cityscapes to
    mountain ranges, ancestral lands to parallel worlds, these authors
    exhibit a panoramic vista of contemporary Chinese-language writing
    at its most imaginative and incisive, balancing intellectual power with
    lyrical enchantment to lend insight into a nation oscillating between
    tradition and modernity, apocalyptic visions and pedestrian loves,
    provocation and nostalgia, reality and dreamscapes.

    One night of fantasy. One terrifying twist. 
    All I wanted was one fantasy fulfilled, played out perfectly: home invasion sexy times. Mask. Gloves. The whole nine. 
    When my dick boyfriend finally agreed, I was willing to put in the work to keep him around a little longer. I mean, who wouldn’t, right? 
    And when I finally got the best night of my life—with the wild, hot, drool-worthy scenario I’d dreamed of—it should’ve been a no-brainer to keep Sean around for at least another romp or two. 
    There’s just one little problem...

    Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children. 
    He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge where he read classics and contributed to and edited Granta. 
    Four years of service as an Army coach followed before he moved to London. In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’.  This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.  
    In 1897 he succeeded Jerome K Jerome as editor of To-Day but still contributed regularly, until 1928, to the Windsor Magazine. 
    It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant.  It’s an apt comparison. Pain was also a master of disturbing prose but able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works.  A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness as many of these short stories demonstrate.   
    Despite applying his talents to several genres and forms today Pain is more readily thought of, especially during the first decade of the 20th Century, as perhaps the leading British humorist of his day.  These stories reveal a darker side and beg to differ. 
    Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

    Amid the turmoil, a young boy and his father must navigate this new reality, where survival hinges on their ability to protect what is theirs. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to a remote sanctuary, forming alliances with unlikely companions and confronting the terrifying truth of a world descending into anarchy. 
    Chaos World is a gripping tale of resilience and adaptation, exploring the depths of human nature and the lengths to which we will go to preserve our humanity in the face of unrelenting darkness.
