A Scruffian Feastiary

by Hal Duncan

Fixed imperishable by the Stamp, sold as slaves, escaped to run wild, fight dirty and plot revenge, Scruffians might look no more'n filthy guttersnipes, but it's a daft groanhuff who crosses em. From the Children's Crusades to the chimney sweeps of Ripper Vicky's London, from Jack Scallywag to the Beast of Buskerville, Scruffians have learnt the hard way to carry a shiv and mind yer mate's back. We'll learn you too, scamp, with these fabbles of Liberatings and Come-Uppances, carnival carnage and Christmas feasts. So cosy in and grab some grub. It's stew tonight, and if yer finds a finger... that's good luck! Praise for A Scruffian Survival Guide: �The post- post- modern Victorian fables that comprise Hal Duncan�s A Scruffian Survival Guide inhabit a unique dark fantasy world � a feral dream. The language is mad genius.� � Jeffrey Ford

[Phoenix Scholz-Krishna · Rating 5 out of 5]

New collection of old favourites, including "A Scruffian Christmas", which always breaks my heart (in a good way, though).
