iDEATH is a place where the sun shines a different color every day and where people travel to the length of their dreams. Rejecting the violence and hate of the old gang at the Forgotten Works, they lead gentle lives in watermelon sugar.

In this book, Richard Brautigan discovers and expresses the mood of the counterculture generation.

City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer is a dazzling reinvention of the literature of the fantastic. This novel invites you to a place unlike any you’ve ever visited, delivered by one of the most audacious literary magicians.

Ambergris is a city of elegance and squalor, religious fervor and wanton lusts. Everywhere, on the walls of courtyards and churches, an incandescent fungus of mysterious and ominous origin blooms.

In this city, a would-be suitor discovers that a sunlit street can become a killing ground in the blink of an eye. An artist receives an invitation to a beheading—and finds himself enchanted. And a patient in a mental institution is convinced he’s made up a city called Ambergris, imagined its every last detail, and believes he’s really from a place called Chicago.

By turns sensuous and terrifying, filled with exotica and eroticism, this interwoven collection of stories, histories, and eyewitness reports invokes a universe within a puzzle box where you can lose—and find—yourself again.
