"...the sun began rising just over the hill where the clouds would whistle a magical tune about an apple tree named Sam, Sam's friendship with Clyde, and Clyde's trip to the moon."With the second of his series Mr. Kind's unique, at times off-beat, lyrical rhyme is once again complimented to life by the graphic expression of Zacc Pollitt's dynamic neo-visualization techniques. Clyde wants nothing more than to share with his friend. But an apple tree, you see, can not chew and so Clyde, for the sake of friendship, takes it upon himself to journey to the moon. He will have so much to do when he arrives there and with the help of a talkative white table he just might find something to share.

Life under the moon has always been so predictable: day follows night, wax phases to wane and, after the despair of every Darkday, a person's mood soars to euphoria at Full. So it has been for five hundred years, ever since the Lunane captured the moon and tethered it to the city. Now, all that has changed. Amidst rumours of unsettling dreams and strange whispering children, society is disintegrating into unrest and violence. The very sea has turned against Glassholm and the island's luck monkeys have gone wild, distributing new fates to all and sundry. Turmoil is coming. Three people find themselves at the eye of the storm: a former policeman investigating a series of macabre murders, an outsider artist embroiled in the murky intrigues of revolution, and a renegade engineer tasked with fixing the ancient machine at the city's heart. Each must fulfil their role or see Glassholm shaken apart, while all are subject to the machinations of their inscrutable and eternal monarch, The Moon King.

Sure to be one of the best debuts of this or any other year." - Jeff VanderMeer "A talented writer who transcends genre, and should be bought, read and cherished." - Shaun Green, Yet Another Book Review "I'm salivating at the thought of his forthcoming full novel The Moon King." - Charles Packer, Sci-fi Online. "Williamson is one of the best Scottish short story writers alive today." - Jim Steel
