Andrew Hook sees the world through a different lens. He takes often mundane things and coaxes the reader to find strangeness, beauty, and horror in their form; he colours the world in surreal shades and leads the reader down discomforting paths where nothing is quite as it should be. Frequencies of Existence features twenty-four of the author's finest stories, including four that are original to this collection. "Andrew Hook is an undisputed superstar of strange fiction" - Neil Williamson, author of The Moon King "A rich slab of Andrew Hook's trademark understated darkness: measured, careful, but ruthless in its own quiet way." - Chris Beckett, Arthur C. Clarke and Edge Hill Prize-winning author. "His stories range from the darkly apocalyptic to the hopefully visionary, some brilliant and none less than satisfactory." - The Harrow "Refreshingly original, uncompromisingly provocative, and daringly intelligent" - The Future Fire Contents: Your Golden Hands The Universe At Gun Point Kodokushi A Knot of Toads The Abduction of Europe The Aniseed Gumball Kid Eskimo The Last Mohican Bullet A Life In Plastic Burning Daylight Making Friends With Fold-Out Flaps The Frequency of Existence The Stench of Winter A Pageant of Clouds Always Forever Today The Caged Sea Interference Softwood My Naked Man Tokyo In Rain The Day My Heart Stood Still Drowning In Air White Matter About the Author
