Looks to be another anthology
Quote:
Philip Ridley's collection of short stories - like his two earlier adult novels, Crocodilia and In the Eyes of Mr Fury - became an instant cult classic when first published in 1990. Magical, poetic, heartbreaking and humorous, the sequence explores childhood, family life, romantic love in all its aspects - lost, unrequited, obsessional - and does so with a haunting mixture of both the barbaric and the beautiful that has become Ridley's trademark. In particular, these tales deal with the experience of growing up gay in a world still bristling with prejudice, and they sing and howl with the need for equality and freedom.
This edition includes two new stories, 'Alien Heart' and 'Wonderful Insect', and finally completes a seminal and compelling collection first begun over thirty years ago.

Sounds interesting though and the cover is incredible.
