The Flowering Hedgerow is a diary of the changing seasons and the "details of time", spanning the months from February to September--the end of winter to the end of summer--in the year 2016. In one sense a nature diary, it is also a diary of the human quotidian, giving human and nature equal weight. As flowers appear in the hedgerow with the coming of spring, so the themes of the diary gradually develop, in patches at first, then coming to full bloom and anticipating the impending fall.Enlivened by thoughts on time, theology and technology, and centred upon a few acres of wooded ground, this diary provides subtle undergrowth into which the reader is invited to delve.

What and where is Hamster Dam? Gary Weber, suspended from work after a distressing series of events involving his patient, Julie Wilcox, has had plenty of time alone to think . . . and remember forgotten things-to recall Hamster Dam. But was there ever any such television show, and would Hamster Dam itself be more or less real if there had been? Brian Warfield, friend and work senior, oversees Gary's case, but he, too, is drawn into a secret world that he dare not tell of and dare not forget. In this multi-faceted gem of uncanny science fiction, British author Quentin S. Crisp penetrates deep into our anxieties about the internet, offering a cautionary tale concerning the terrors in store for a world where there is no offline.

Six years in six months, or six months in six years-Autumn and Spring Annals is a diary in verse, each day crystalized-in beauty, worry, dread and profundity. Quentin S. Crisp, a writer of timeless stature, lays his heart bare in a book that is at once haunting and enriching and which, while indicting the filth of the sublunary world, surges with unexpected happinesses and unmistakable life.

Set against the backdrop of anomie-drenched 21st-century London, Graves, Quentin S. Crisp's second major novel, is a work of Gothic horror that confronts the 'hard problem' of consciousness in a world where it is easier to believe in artificial intelligence than human intelligence.
