Migraine

'For a story about civilisational collapse it's remarkable how intimate Migraine is, how lived-in, how rich in sense of place. Fisher has written a great London novel by sweeping nearly everything from the city and then leaning in close to what remains' * Ned Beauman *
'Graceful and transcendent, Migraine is a kaleidoscopic odyssey of bodies, language and landscape. Sam is a master of the speculative and sensory - an essential contribution to modern storytelling' * Emma Glass *
'Samuel Fisher's prose moves with swift and sure tread across the glinting particulars of locality, until that condition, that curse, with its pains and pleasures, becomes universal. Our fate. Our challenge. Our discarded future' * Iain Sinclair *
'Migraine stages a future whose precursors, we feel, are already here. Fisher's writing is affecting, eye-opening, exacting, and it carries with it what I want to call kindness' * Isabel Waidner *
'An entrancing London parable that blends dystopia, witty social commentary and the radical edges of an apocalypse road movie. What more could you want?' * Holly Pester *
'Migraine is a beguiling, sinuous wonder of a novel. Simultaneously a work of intimate psychogeography, and a mystery unravelling the interlacing breakdowns of climate, health and domestic coupledom, I didn't want it to end' * Daisy Lafarge *
'With elegance and humanity, Migraine sheds light on some of our darkest and most urgent questions... What type of life can we hope to build in the aftermath of collapse? How might we love one another when we are walled off by the solitude of pain?' * Keiran Goddard *
