The End of Everything Signed Edition

Dreamlike and baffling, The End of Everything elucidates humanity's disintegrating existence with strange clarity -- Michel Faber * Guardian *
M. John Harrison is the closest thing we have to a present-day Wyndham or Ballard * New Statesman *
Confounding, brilliant ... What drives it is the tension from all that strangeness being reported in calm, often drily witty prose * Times *
A work of uncanny beauty, tender and terrifying in equal parts * Literary Review *
A bracing vision * Spectator *
Extremely beautiful and terrifyingly remote. Reading it hit me like a truck ... It's a novel that destabilises you - quite savagely - in the course of its reading. But you're absolutely not walking away. You're locked in, and you're having the time of your life -- Helen Macdonald * Observer *
The End Of Everything is at once surreal, seductive, shrewdly funny and wholly terrifying. It proves (yet again) that M. John Harrison is a complete original, and one of the finest working writers we have -- Julia Armfield
The End of Everything, a novel of absences and apparitions, of things almost recognised and far from understood, has little to do with the details, and everything to do with the tenor of how we live now. It will get deep into your bones -- Chris Power
To take the boisterous trope of the "alien invasion" and render it into this visionary and brilliant investigation of anxious times is breath-taking chutzpah. Of which we are lucky to be the beneficiaries -- China Miéville
M John Harrison writes astonishingly on the page of course, but he must also be doing something else. This book is both a dream and the dream state itself. I don't know what else to say - it feels beyond reading. Disturbing and yet revelatory. He's changed the world here." -- Ben Pester, author of The Expansion Project
A memorable, haunting work ... a world that's all the more uncanny on account of its proximity to our own * Irish Times *
Reminded me of J. G. Ballard ... an addictive, obsessive and digressionary novel about the mundanity of post-apocalyptic life, lives we might be living already * The International Times *
An eerie, speculative novel of crisis and its aftermath * iNews Best New Books of June 2026 *
Praise for M. John Harrison * : *
Harrison is without peer as a chronicler of the fraught, unsteady state we're in -- Olivia Laing
One of the best writers of fiction currently at work in English -- Robert Macfarlane
With M. John Harrison, you're never quite sure what you're reading or where it will take you next. There are only a few certainties: that it will surprise you, sometimes astound you, and leave you profoundly changed' -- Jonathan Coe, author of The Rotters’ Club
M. John Harrison, the best British writer you've never heard of, operates on the margins. Unusual and impressive * Sunday Times *
Future critics will find in his writing a distinct, clear-eyed vision of late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century life * Times Literary Supplement *
A towering genius of modern fiction -- China Miéville
