Vurt

Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, this is a brilliantly innovative and highly entertaining novel from a literary pioneer.

The 20th Anniversary Edition with a foreword by Lauren Beukes and three fantastic new short stories, all set in the extraordinary world of Vurt

Take a trip in a stranger's head. Travel rain-shot streets with a gang of hip malcontents, hooked on the most powerful drug you can imagine. Yet Vurt feathers are not for the weak. As the mysterious Game Cat says, ‘Be careful, be very careful’. But Scribble isn't listening. He has to find his lost love.

His journey is a mission to find Curious Yellow, the ultimate, perhaps even mythical Vurt feather. As the most powerful narcotic of all, Scribble must be prepared to leave his current reality behind.
