'We finally arrive at Nikky Lee’s ‘The Violet Hour’, in which those who are the right kind of desperate can play a game of chess with a deadly wager. A win will grant them their greatest wish, a loss will cost them years from their lives. All the while, an eternal spirit hopes for relief and a better outcome.'

    'From The Waste Land - stories inspired by T.S. Eliot's “The Waste Land” Plaintive ghosts, deep space, medieval castles, rising seas, parched deserts, abandoned villages…Inspired by its powerful themes—still highly resonant in an era looking for hope—nineteen original tales mark the centenary of Eliot’s poem. From the Waste Land brings together decorated writers and new voices in fantasy; ghost tales, horror, dystopia and science fiction. With a blend of the grotesque and the sublime, the poignant and the horrifying, the sad and the stoic, you’ll find stories that conjure wastelands from the 1500s to many centuries hence. You’ll also find the hope for humanity and the belief in our joint future that these writers seek for us all.'
