Above a great illustration by the amazing Dave McKean included in Agents of Oblivion by the extraordinary Iain Sinclair. The illustration features Algernon Blackwood but also Steve Moore and... Alan Moore!
Four stories starting everywhere and finishing in madness. Four acknowledged guides. Four tricksters. Four inspirations. Algernon Blackwood. Arthur Machen. J. G. Ballard. H. P. Lovecraft. They are known as “Agents of Oblivion”. And sometimes, in brighter light, as oblivious angels . . .
As host, as oracle, Iain Sinclair moves through this quartet of tales, through a spectral London that once was, or might never have been.
Furthermore: Alan's presence is very much there in the first story, 'The Lure of Silence'. - Iain Sinclair.
Unfortunately the hard-cover seems to be sold out. But...
Highly recommended!
