"A man faces the serious and mysterious consequences of his unusual paternity. A young peasant girl takes an eccentric villager…
as her lover and pays for her audacity. A group of revelers experience horror at the abuses and vicissitudes of a strange visitor. We accompany a sick man on his journey through the landscapes of his feverish delirium, only to get lost along the way and arrive at the end that was not. A man emigrates from his homeland in search of a bait in the form of a woman and ends up facing a fantastic opponent. These are some of Pedro Cabiya's Tremendous Stories, the first book by the then very young writer and a fundamental text that forever changed the rules of the game in Caribbean literature." -- Translation provided by NLSBy Robert J. Collins. 1988

The first ever publication of Mark E. Smith's supernatural film treatment, co-authored with Graham Duff.In 2015 Mark E. Smith of…
The Fall and screenwriter Graham Duff co-wrote the script for a horror feature film called The Otherwise. The story involved The Fall recording an EP in an isolated recording studio on Pendle Hill. The Lancashire landscape is not only at the mercy of a satanic biker gang, it's also haunted by a gaggle of soldiers who have slipped through time from the Jacobite Rebellion.However, every film production company who saw the script said it was 'too weird' to ever be made. The Otherwise is weird. Yet it's also witty, shocking and genuinely scary. Now the screenplay is published for the first time, alongside photographs, drawings and handwritten notes. The volume also contains previously unpublished transcripts of conversations between Smith and Duff, where they discuss creativity, dreams, musical loves (from Can to acid house) and favourite films (from Britannia Hospital to White Heat). Smith also talks candidly about his youth and mortality, in exchanges that are both touching and extremely funny.'Reading this book for the second time' ***** Reader Review1965 - the heyday of Rock & Roll.
