In City of Saints and Madmen Jeff VanderMeer has reinvented the literature of the fantastic You hold in your hands an invitation to a place unlike any youve ever visitedan invitation delivered by one of our most audacious and astonishing literary magicians City of elegance and squalor Of religious fervor and wanton lusts And everywhere on the walls of courtyards and churches an incandescent fungus of mysterious and ominous origin In Ambergris a wouldbe suitor discovers that a sunlit street can become a killing ground in the blink of an eye An artist receives an invitation to a beheadingand finds himself enchanted And a patient in a mental institution is convinced hes made up a city called Ambergris imagined its every last detail and that hes really from a place called ChicagoBy turns sensuous and terrifying filled with exotica and eroticism this interwoven collection of stories histories and eyewitness reports invokes a universe within a puzzlebox where you can loseand findyourself again
