## Description

Brand-new stories by: Desmond Barry, Ken Bruen, Stewart Home, Barry Adamson, Michael Ward, Sylvie Simmons, Daniel Bennett, Cathi Unsworth, Max Decharne, Martyn Waites, Joolz Denby, and othersFrom the introduction by Cathi Unsworth:"That London has survived so long comes down to its foundation in the root of all evil. The river, as the Romans knew, meant the riches of the world could be shipped directly to its ravenous mouth. London has controlled the world for many of the years of its existence. London is the Grand Wizard . . . [and] this [anthology] is a compass for readers to chart their own paths through the dark streets of London, to take whatever part chimes most closely with their soul and use it as a talisman."
