AMMONIA SUNRISE by Aske Hyldborg Jensen and THE INFINITE FURY by Ian Macartney

‘Ammonia Sunrise’ by Aske Hyldborg Jensen reads like Barthesian dispatches from another dimension. In the form of prose-poems and poem-poems, Jensen details strange turns of the mind — melting into a world weirder than thought — with humour, playfulness and grotesquerie.

In ‘The Infinite Fury and other stories’ by Ian Macartney two husbands talk at the end of everything. A train, full of flowers, is derailed by love. Edinburgh is enslaved by city-sized alien bodies. Something close to hell inhabits the basement of a bakery and ghosts explore the energy-root of the multiverse. Written as prose, speech, thought and game, this collection is a catalogue of post-internet mythmaking, a discourse in Celtic surrealism, gay techno-hauntings, acid-mannerism, and sprawling, spitting hyper-fiction.
