From the author of Perdito Street Station, an epic and breathtaking fantasy of extraordinary imagination.
A new cast of characters shares mythical adventures in the sprawling, phantasmagoric city of New Crobuzon.
This collection contains a novella and 13 short stories, of visionary cityscapes and urban paranoia, ghosts, monsters and impossible diseases.
Beneath the towering bleached ribs of a dead, ancient beast lies the city of New Crobuzon, where the unsavory deal is stranger to no one--not even to Isaac, a gifted and eccentric scientist who has spent a lifetime quietly carrying out his unique research. But when a half-bird, half-human creature known as the Garuda comes to him from afar, Isaac is faced with challenges he has never before encountered. Though the Garuda's request is scientifically daunting, Isaac is sparked by his own curiosity and an uncanny reverence for this curious stranger. Soon an eerie metamorphosis will occur that will permeate every fiber of New Crobuzon--and not even the Ambassador of Hell will challenge the malignant terror it evokes.
