About the Book: Steve Aylett is known for his unique brand of "satirical surrealism," and Toxicology is a collection of his short stories that defies standard genre classification. Often categorised as New Wave Science Fiction or Slipstream, the book features bizarre landscapes, linguistic gymnastics, and a darkly comedic look at a world where the laws of physics and logic are frequently discarded. It includes stories like "The Scatological Tree" and "The Inexorable Rose," showcasing Aylett's reputation as one of the most original and experimental voices in modern underground literature.
Recommended For: Fans of avant-garde fiction, "Bizarro" literature, and authors like William S. Burroughs, Jeff VanderMeer, or Philip K. Dick. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy dense, witty prose and stories that prioritise surreal concepts over traditional linear narratives.
