"From the jungle's rich decay he is coaxing his own pale shoots of hope...Somewhere in there, waiting for him to discover it, lies the biochemical basis of happiness."
These powerful stories tear the veil from a fascinating world which touches us all - although we often try to shut it out. They blaze a trail not only into the real jungle of the title novella, but the chemical jungle of the brain itself, where the monsters of murder, madness and secret obsessions lie in wait. And where we are also haunted by the tender ghosts of love.
Here is an entertaining collection set around the globe (and in space), lit unexpectedly with flashes of humour. Meet Herr Doktor Roach from his doomed planet of Stok; Ernest Dark and his Museum of Imagination; Kevin Butcher, the serial killer with his crackling murder map; Walter Pater, a gay advertising man building the lurid Japanese love hotel which will be his monument. And many more...
Ian Moffitt shows his astonishing versatility in this vivid journey into the seething world beyond the backdrop of our lives.
