In an age when fashion and aesthetics are way more important than life itself, it's exciting to wonder how we might survive. We’re transported into the future with stories of love, loss and the last vestiges of human life as we know it. This female-fronted collection of short stories is a thought-provoking and a spine-tingling vision of tomorrow… if it ever comes. From finding the perfect man to finding the perfect outfit for the ultimate red carpet, this book is packed full of ass-kicking action, tall tales from skyscrapers and love songs for the dead. Dive in, but don’t have nightmares.
Kelly Vero, author of Knowing Home and the Malta-based Blood for Blood series presents a selection of darkly humorous tales crafted from some truly ridiculous dreams. "I wanted to place a focus on the role of women in the future. As the rise of the automaton is present in care, sex and industry now, I started to wonder, what will we become?"
In what feels like something of a first, you can also download or stream Kelly’s Prince of Tokyo playlist on Spotify. "I was listening to these tunes and they really influenced my characters and locations as well as the diverse plotlines in the stories," she says.
