Read it your way: Includes standalone .epub and .pdf versions!

In the searing light of the far future, one thousand years beyond the fall of Earth

The world ended. The sun itself is dying. Yet among the glowing embers and against all odds, life persists. Welcome to the Eddawielm: An accretion disk formed of the flames of a shattered Solar System, strewn with the tumbling fragments of dead planets, and littered with the defiant remnants of mankind; a new world... with all the old problems.

Pickled gherkins and dead men floating

In this collection of mystery, misadventure, romance and horror, workmen swoop along cables high above a teeming city, praying they don’t plummet to their doom, while below them, a young seamstress sees too much and finds herself threatened by the sordid side of city politics. In the shadows of the deeper streets, an ill-fated academic studies a mysterious artefact, a detective investigates a kidnapping, and farmers tending fields of vat-grown flesh contend with the arrival of bodies in their meaty crop.

Heroes, villains and ghosts

Far from the city and across the burning sea, in a place of great faith and spiritual enlightenment, an unlucky scoundrel discovers that his fate is sealed when he foolishly crosses a notorious gangster. Meanwhile, an archaeological expedition discovers an ancient tomb-ship, a drifting monument to the sleeping dead, set on its endless voyage centuries earlier. Therein the mortal footsteps echo, and something dreadful stirs...
