Join M. John Harrison as he talks about his new book The End of Everything
About this Event

We are delighted to be joined by cult author M. John Harrison, on Thursday 2nd July at 7pm, as he chats to Nina Allan about the publication of his surreal, seductive and shrewdly funny new book, The End of Everything.

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.

Book your tickets today!

Tickets are £17 and will include a very special edition of M John Harrison’s latest novel, The End of Everything. The Blackwell's exclusive edition is signed, and has beautiful, sprayed edges. Also included is an exclusive short story called English Heritage.
