“Raw Power... Alistair Rennie twists every knob on the control panel of The Weird to 11.” -Scott Nicolay
From Alistair Rennie, author of BleakWarrior and overseer of Ruptured World, comes a collection like no other...
Fantastical Meta-Warriors who defy the rules of linear existence; telepathic shape-shifting lifeforms from another planet; interdimensional time-travelling assassins; and eldritch gods as you’ve never seen them before. Experience all this and more in a masterful new collection of dark fiction that can only be described as HARDWEIRD.
Featuring BleakWarrior Enters the Pith of Shadows — the sequel novella to the acclaimed novel — and other weird tales of cosmic disorder, HARDWEIRD will take you to new heights of horror, wonder, weirdness, and beyond.
"Transgressive and hard-edged" - Jeff VanderMeer, Nebula award winning author of the Southern Reach trilogy.
