These interconnected stories do a great job of portraying London in all its diverse parts. This is psychogeography taken to the limit, with constant references to both real and fictional authors and books. The story shifts a bit from horror as it goes along, however, as the protagonist of the final (long) story seems to learn how to deal with London and all its nightmare creatures. All-in-all, while the book succeeds in being coherent and interesting, it falls a bit short on the actual storytelling. There isn't much here that doesn't seem borrowed and reworked. But it can definitely be a starting point for a further exploration of the real authors it mentions. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Includes the Shirley Jackson Award shortlisted Judderman. London Incognita chronicles a city caught in the cycle of perpetual decline and continuous renewal: the English capital, groaning under the weight of two-thousand years of history, as seen through the eyes of its desperate and troubled inhabitants. A malicious presence from the 1970s resurfaces in the fevered alleyways of the city; an amnesiac goddess offers brittle comfort to the spirits of murdered shop-girls; and an obscure and forgotten London writer holds the key to a thing known as the emperor worm. As bombs detonate and buildings burn down, the city's selfish inhabitants hunt the ghosts of friends, family and lovers to the urban limits of the metropolis, uncovering the dark secrets of London.
