"[A] highly imaginative and ebulliently romantic illustrator and storyteller." --Booklist The internationally bestselling author of Griffin & Sabine presents a mysterious manuscript: one hundred strange little stories, consisting of exactly one hundred words each, for reasons as yet unknown. Strange characters slip through alleyways, walls, and homes. Eerie streets swallow people whole. Events of an entirely unexpected nature play out in entirely quotidian ways. Glimpses of other worlds, vignettes of curious lives, contemplations of passing moments, all accompanied by odd randomized icons. The origin of these one hundred one-hundred-word stories, and the strange little iconographic images that accompany them, is cloudy--at best. The manuscript was reportedly found in an attic, in North London, stuffed into a battered cardboard box that was wrapped in brown paper. One hundred sheets of typed, double-spaced pages, along with a group of petroglyphic images . . . and the rest is up to you. . . .
