From New York Times bestselling author Alan Moore—one of the most influential writers in the history of comics—"a wonderful collection, brilliant and often moving" (Neil Gaiman) which takes us to the fantastical underside of reality. In his first-ever short story collection, which spans forty years of work, Alan Moore presents a series of wildly different and equally unforgettable characters who discover—and in some cases even make and unmake—the various uncharted parts of existence.

Dalla fantascienza all’horror, passando per il fantastico e la satira pungente, Alan Moore si destreggia sapientemente tra generi, stili e registri diversi, per dipingere quadri rischiarati da illuminazioni folgoranti, squarci di una realtà solo apparentemente inverosimile, che spesso riesce a superare anche le fantasie più sfrenate. Così due amanti improbabili si innamorano con conseguenze terribili in un lupanare frequentato da stregoni; il racconto dell’origine dell’universo rivela un esito catastrofico; gli spiriti esigono vendetta.
