I’m reading this at the moment and it’s absolutely engrossing, a deeply strange neo-noir fit for the anthropocene. Will be getting a physical copy in March because that cover is beautiful.

Welcome news of a new novel by contributor @bentufnell.bsky.social forthcoming from @influxpress.bsky.social

I’m really very happy to be working with the brilliant Influx Press!
