Dream City Blues
Edited by Mark Howard Jones

Our long-cherished dream of Utopia is always just out of reach. We are doomed to know what we want but never to reach it. Inside this book are stories of cities filled with dreams that have become nightmares.
THE CITY WEARS MANY MASKS
From shining towers to filthy back alleys; from bright sunlit parks to dingy, cramped basements; this misguided tour through our dream cities is beset with dangerous pitfalls.
Here are 11 diverse visions of cities that are unsettling, horrific, outlandish and bizarre in turn. Come and visit...but don't forget your return ticket.

Brown is the New Black
David Rix London after the breakdown … For Jess and Jay, a former clothes designer and her partner, life has become a matter of scavenging round trying to keep going in a world of hunters and hunted. A world where the city streets have become a battleground with threats from both sides – where the ‘survivors’ of this disaster have reset themselves several levels downward on the scale of humanity, while the victims have become something else entirely. Based loosely on the paintings of surrealist artist Paul Delvaux, this novella dissects the trope of the zombie plague with the help of clothes design – clothes design inspired by insect camouflage. A portrait of a city filled with naked wanderers, dead railway lines, mouldering bones and almost beautiful silence.

Wordland 4: Whited Sepulchres

Whited sepulchres
Whitewashed and gleaming in in the sun.
Whited sepulchres
The politician's smile
The deceiver's handshake
The freshly painted house of secrets
Whited sepulchres
We know where to find them
So take our clammy, tremulous hands, as we lead you inside and deep into their rotten hearts.
