Dust jacket illustration by Dave McKean. We’re pleased to present the signed limited edition of Three Moments of an Explosion, a collection of stories that showcase the singular vision of China Mieville. Please note that most of the stories in Moment are making their first appearance therein, and that our edition consists of only 452 copies, far smaller than the trade hardcover, which will have many thousands of copies, and smaller even than our usual limited editions for China, as well. Publishers Weekly graced Three Moments of an Explosion with a starred review, saying of it, “Above all what the stories have in common is a sense that the world is not just strange, but stranger than we can really comprehend. ”Limited: 400 signed numbered copiesLettered: 52 signed copies, bound in leather, housed in a custom traycaseTable of Contents:Three Moments of an ExplosionPolyniaThe Condition of New DeathThe Dowager of BeesIn The SlopesThe CrawlWatching GodThe 9th TechniqueThe Rope is the WorldThe Buzzard’s EggSäckenSyllabusDreaded OutcomeAfter the FestivalThe Dusty HatEscapeeThe Bastard PromptRulesEstateKeepA Second Slice ManifestoCovehitheThe JunketFour Final OrpheusesThe RabbetListen The BirdsA MountThe Design
