Beschreibung
Andrew Hook sees the world through a different lens. He takes often mundane things and coaxes the reader to find strangeness, beauty, and horror in their form; he colours the world in surreal shades and leads the reader down discomforting paths where nothing is quite as it should be.

Frequencies of Existence features twenty-four of the author's finest stories, including four that are original to this collection.

"Andrew Hook is an undisputed superstar of strange fiction" - Neil Williamson, author of The Moon King

"A rich slab of Andrew Hook's trademark understated darkness: measured, careful, but ruthless in its own quiet way." - Chris Beckett, Arthur C. Clarke and Edge Hill Prize-winning author.

"His stories range from the darkly apocalyptic to the hopefully visionary, some brilliant and none less than satisfactory." - The Harrow

"Refreshingly original, uncompromisingly provocative, and daringly intelligent" - The Future Fire
