These stories take place at the intersection of the fantastic and the mundane. Their characters are cross-eyed typists, disgruntled bookshop workers, suburban terrorists and horny elderly pensioners. They are about a sinister race, a mutating library and strange parades where a nation's greatest fears come to light. Nevada's stories gather the hubris of dreams and capture snapshots of suburban life, exploring neglected interstices of anguish and desire. These stories will fascinate and entertain; they will also disturb and hang around in your mind long after you've finished reading them.
