Fabian: A Cubist Biography is a surreal venture into what happens when a novelist writes a biography...of someone who never existed. Unbeknownst to Fabian, the disillusioned, would-be filmmaker after whom this enigmatic novel is named, his inventor and biographer—a writer known as Tom Newton—has abandoned conventional authorial practice and conscious decision-making. Fabian, press-ganged into existence, is inspired or doomed to create his own fictive universe peopled with conquistadors, Aztec priests, a charlatan psychoanalyst, immortal alchemists, and more.

In Voyages to Nowhere, Tom Newton makes boundless imaginative leaps across mid-20th century European history. The two novellas, each set in a unique psychogeographical landscape, share a shattered dystopian vision, wherein time and space are dazzlingly transposed.

Reweirding the world.... This collection of 24 short stories explores unknown, but vaguely familiar worlds. Charting the frontier between the real and the illusory, Seven Cries of Delight celebrates offbeat independent human curiosity, the unorthodox spirit of Renaissance enquiry into the nature of things and experience, and its exposition in fictions unfettered by either convention or doctrine.
