Description

From universities and theatres to car parks and substations, brutalist architecture is found throughout Britain. Its mysterious buildings brood on our skylines, haunting our towns and cities with their vision of a future which never arrived. Vast, angular, imposing, these structures are some of the country’s most distinctive and underappreciated landmarks – and often feel like some of its darkest.

Edited by Richard V. Hirst, with specially commissioned artwork from Leah Leaf, Brutalist Ghost Stories brings together seventeen of the finest writers of contemporary fiction to respond to these buildings through the form of the ghost story.

Featuring stories by Jenn Ashworth, Beth Barker, RZ Baschir, Naomi Booth, Gosia Buzzanca, Jeremy Dyson, Chịkọdịlị Emelụmadụ, Thom Evans, Rachael Fulton, David Gaffney, Jessie Greengrass, Daisy Johnson, Amy Lord, Lauren O’Donoghue, Holly Pester, Nicholas Royle and Robert Shearman.
