Beschreibung

As heard on BBC Radio 4's Front Row: the radical dystopian classic, lost for forty years: in a nightmarish Britain, THEY are coming closer.<br><br>'A creepily prescient tale ... Insidiously horrifying!' Margaret Atwood<br>'A masterpiece of creeping dread.' Emily St. John Mandel<br><br>This is Britain: but not as we know it. <br>THEY begin with a dead dog, shadowy footsteps, confiscated books. Soon the National Gallery is purged; eerie towers survey the coast; mobs stalk the countryside destroying artworks - and those who resist.<br>THEY capture dissidents - writers, painters, musicians, even the unmarried and childless - in military sweeps, 'curing' these subversives of individual identity.<br>Survivors gather together as cultural refugees, preserving their crafts, creating, loving and remembering. But THEY make it easier to forget ...<br><br>Lost for half a century, newly introduced by Carmen Maria Machado, Kay Dick's They (1977) is a rediscovered dystopian masterpiece of art under attack: a cry from the soul against censorship, a radical celebration of non-conformity - and a warning.<br><br>'Every bit as creepy, tense and strange as when I first read it 40 years ago.' Ian Rankin<br>'Delicious and sexy and downright chilling ... Read it!' Rumaan Alam<br>'Crystalline ... The signature of an enchantress.' Edna O'Brien<br>'I'm pretty wild about this paranoid, terrifying 1977 masterpiece.' Lauren Groff<br>'Deft, dread filled, hypnotic and hopeful. Completely got under my skin.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave<br>'Lush, hypnotic, compulsive ... A reminder of where groupthink leads.' Eimear McBride<br>'A masterwork of English pastoral horror: eerie and bewitching.' Claire-Louise Bennett<br>'A short shocker: creepy, disturbing, distressing and highly enjoyable.' Andrew Hunter Murray<br>'Prophetic, chilling and a reminder from the past that we have everything to fight for in the future.' Salena Godden
