Five short works of horror and weird fiction from new British author A(W) Hendry.
____________________ 'An illuminating and timely story that highlights the plight of refugees … A book that haunts and shames in equal measure' - Guardian 'This short but heart-wrenching book ... brings home the terrible human consequences of war. Caroline Brothers’ stark, unsentimental novel is one everyone should read' - Daily Mail 'Intensely evocative … The emotional as well as geographical borderlands are sensitively delineated in this visceral and moving debut' - Independent ____________________ The inspiration for Flight, the stunning play coming to the Bridge Theatre, from the creatives behind Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ____________________ Two young boys cross a river in the middle of the night. The river is also a border, and their lives depend on this journey. With nothing but the clothes on their backs, Aryan and his little brother Kabir travel by truck, boat, train, bus and on foot across a Europe they desperately hope will offer them a future they can no longer wait for in Afghanistan. Kabul-Tehran-Istanbul-Athens-Rome-Paris-London – this is the route they cling to, the mantra they repeat in their prayers, and the only option they can see before them. Hinterland is the story of two ordinary brothers whose courageous gamble brings home the devastating human consequences of war.
Set in the quiet beauty of the north Suffolk coast and buzzing 1990's Brighton, Hinterland reframes the question 'what if today was your last day on earth' by asking 'what if it had been yesterday' Magnus was a bluesman once. So were his friends the street magician and the pleasure seeker. When student days in Brighton ended, their band and Magnus' carefree years continued as Kelly's Heroes toured the pubs and clubs of London and the South. They drank, they fought, they laughed, they partied and they made their music.Fifteen years later, a very different Magnus, a career obsessed, isolated, thirty-something Magnus, loses his life in a road traffic accident. Hinterland is the story of how that Magnus became this Magnus and his search for peace on a journey through an afterlife he is not ready to accept. A journey through a place that he fears and rejects in favour of trying to find a way back to the living, to those he left behind, to his young family and to Isla his wife. A journey overshadowed by the secret he carries. Walking with Magnus and his fellow travellers in the Hinterland we learn how love and jealousy, friendship and greed, tragedy and happiness, hope and the pace of life itself shaped his soul. A soul that must face its earthly past if it is to find its way to peace.

A balance must be maintained.A group of kids on vacation with their parental units at a bird sanctuary on the US/Mexico border encounter the greatest cataclysm of Earth's history: a rip in the time space continuum.

Over the last forty years, the landscape of the United States has been fundamentally transformed. It is partially visible in the ascendance of glittering, coastal hubs for finance, infotech and the so-called ‘creative class’. But this is only the tip of an economic iceberg, the bulk of which lies in the darkness of the declining heartland or on the dimly lit fringe of sprawling cities. This is America’s Hinterland, populated by towering grain-threshing machines and hunched farmworkers, where labourers drawn from every corner of the world crowd into factories and ‘fulfilment centres’. Driven by an ever-expanding crisis, America’s class structure is recomposing itself in new geographies of race, poverty and production. Drawing on his direct experience of recent popular unrest, Phil A. Neel provides a close-up view of this landscape in all its grim but captivating detail, and tells the intimate story of a life lived within America’s hinterland.
All serious politicians are supposed to possess a hinterland, but not all do. Chris Mullin was one who did. By the time he entered parliament he had reported from the wars in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and tracked down the survivors of the CIA operation in Tibet. He was the author of three novels, including the classic A Very British Coup. His successful campaign to free the innocent people convicted of the Birmingham bombings was described as 'one of the greatest feats ever achieved by an investigative reporter'. Elected to parliament, aged 39, he quickly established himself as a fearless inquisitor before going on to become a minister in three departments. His three volumes of diaries have been widely acclaimed as the best account of the Blair years and the rise and fall New Labour. He left parliament in 2010 ('better to go while people are still asking why rather than when'). These are his memoirs.

Most of you may not be able to engage with this short work of truths written into your life. However, should you dare to reach through your imagination, you will find something of yourself in a small, darkened room from which time escapes into words that simply appear in space to emerge and form your life. Colin H. Smith

E.A. Markham’s iconic anthology Hinterland opened up new territory for many readers, with its substantial selections by 14 key poets with photos, interviews, essays by the poets themselves. It became a set text for the Open University and at many universities and colleges in Britain and the Caribbean. Since Markham compiled his selection over 30 years ago, the work of the poets he documents has become even more important, historically signi?cant and highly influential. The poets featured – in depth – are Derek Walcott, Martin Carter, Louise Bennett, Kamau Brathwaite, Dennis Scott, James Berry, Mervyn Morris, E.A. Markham, Olive Senior, Grace Nichols, Lorna Goodison, Fred D’Aguiar, Michael Smith and Linton Kwesi Johnson. ‘The product largely of offshore islands – Jamaica, Trinidad, Britain, etc (Guyana being the exception) – West Indian poetry in English has often been located on the fringes of the central experience. Its popularity is widely associated with local colour, linguistic and tonal innovation, thought to be lacking in the English “mainstream”. This collection shows that the most vital and challenging poetry of the British Caribbean heritage is both local in its urgency and informed by a hinterland of experience deeper than the geography of the islands’ politics.’ – E.A. Markham, writing in 1989
