Get your copy of our hugely anticipated eighth title from Scratch Books!

Then come and ask its authors a question in Foyles Charing Cross next Saturday!

Magic and Mechanics features the frankly ridiculous line up of:

George Saunders

Claire-Louise Bennett

Mark Haddon

Colin Barrett

Camilla Grudova

Amber Medland

Magic & Mechanics includes some of the six most stunning, haunting, and important stories of recent years. After each story, read the interview with the author about HOW they wrote it.

Pre-order your copy here to arrive on the launch date of 12th March!





And then, next Saturday 14th March, come along to Foyles Charing Cross Road between 10am and 2pm.

We are taking over the first floor with the 'Story Mechanic' booth! Come and meet four of the most exciting contemporary authors - Camilla Grudova, Harriet Armstrong, Rowe Irvin and Amber Medland - and ask them about your writing, your work in progress, or anything that's on your mind...

Tickets are free and available from the Foyles website here.


It would be lovely to see you there!




Magic & Mechanics is available directly from Scratch Books... to your door... Just click here...

Picked up an older print collection just to take a break from screens, not expecting much, but it ended up holding attention longer than anything I’d scrolled that week. There’s something different about slowing down and letting the content unfold without constant distractions. Later that evening I opened https://newspaper-archive.pissedconsumer.com/review.html something there reminded me how easily older material still connects when it hits the right context. Since then I’ve been more selective with what I read, less jumping between tabs, more staying with one thing until it actually sinks in.
