G.

G. Ballard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by renowned editors Maxim Jakubowski and Rick McGrath, this collection includes stories by:\u003cbr\u003e•\tWill Self\u003cbr\u003e•\tIain Sinclair\u003cbr\u003e•\tChristopher Fowler\u003cbr\u003e•\tChris Beckett\u003cbr\u003e•\tMichael Moorcock\u003cbr\u003e•\tJeff Noon\u003cbr\u003e•\tPreston Grassmann\u003cbr\u003e•\tToby Litt\u003cbr\u003e•\tChristine Poulson\u003cbr\u003e•\tDavid Gordon\u003cbr\u003e•\tHanna Jameson\u003cbr\u003e•\tJames Lovegrove\u003cbr\u003e•\tRamsey Campbell\u003cbr\u003e•\tBarry N.
