Islington Crocodiles by Paul Meloy
Long out of print, a classic of progressive horror fiction.

"Paul Meloy is unique. No other writer plumbs the dream pool to such depths and sculpts addictive fiction from the awful things he finds there. He is the comedian that Hieronymous Bosch never was, the philosopher that Tommy Cooper failed to be. Make no mistake: Meloy is one of the most relevant writers in the world today. And these stories are pure gold. Treasure them" Charlie Williams.

"Meloy's voice is startlingly original, his stories both shocking and beautiful, and this book is destined to become a classic" Tim Lebbon

"In the stories of Paul Meloy – where walk the living dead, genetically modified pandas, and the mad and terrible Nurse Melt, among others – raw, tell-it-like-it-is comedy brawls with trippy horror in a cage match for the human soul. Take a front row seat. Try not to get any blood on you" Joe Hill

"Crisp and inventive, fresh and distinctive. Really, an unmissable gig!" Graham Joyce
