City of Saints and Madmen

In City of Saints and Madmen, Jeff VanderMeer has reinvented the literature of the fantastic. You hold in your hands an invitation to a place unlike any youâ€™ve ever visitedâ€“an invitation delivered by one of our most audacious and astonishing literary magicians.

City of elegance and squalor. Of religious fervor and wanton lusts. And everywhere, on the walls of courtyards and churches, an incandescent fungus of mysterious and ominous origin. In Ambergris, a would-be suitor discovers that a sunlit street can become a killing ground in the blink of an eye. An artist receives an invitation to a beheadingâ€“and finds himself enchanted. And a patient in a mental institution is convinced heâ€™s made up a city called Ambergris, imagined its every last detail, and that heâ€™s really from a place called Chicago.â€¦

By turns sensuous and terrifying, filled with exotica and eroticism, this interwoven collection of stories, histories, and â€œeyewitnessâ€ reports invokes a universe within a puzzlebox where you can loseâ€“and findâ€“yourself again.
