The End of Everything

Formats & Editions

'Harrison is without peer as a chronicler of the fraught, unsteady state we're in' Olivia Laing

Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artefacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid. It feels like the end.

Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artefact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows.

Praise for The End of Everything

  • M. John Harrison is the closest thing we have to a present-day Wyndham or Ballard - New StatesmanThe End Of Everything is at once surreal, seductive, shrewdly funny and wholly terrifying. It proves (yet again) that M. John Harrison is a complete original, and one of the finest working writers we have - Julia ArmfieldThe End of Everything, a novel of absences and apparitions, of things almost recognised and far from understood, has little to do with the details, and everything to do with the tenor of how we live now. It will get deep into your bones - Chris PowerA towering genius of modern fiction - China Mieville
