What a fantastic anthology. A JG Ballaed inspired collection of unsettling visions (Not a bad title for this particular collection.)It has some zeitgeist refining writers paying tribute to a writer whos work transends the medium. I would read books written by the contributors, so finding a thread off sorts running through their work is double plus good.Although that sounds more Orwellian than Ballardian, a rose by any other name blah,blah.When reading anthologies, particularly with an array of writers I usually try not to skip the order they are printed in or favouring writers whose work I am familiar with over those whose work I am not. But in this instance I found myself jumping in with the story by Iain Sinclair and it did not disapoint. He writes as he talks and I find both means of communication compelling and always interesting. His ghosts I can believe in.That said, I did go back to the beginning and read through as the editors intended.
