These Demented Lands - Hardcover
An aircrash investigator gathers fallen pieces of planes and a young woman arrives at the Drome Hotel, strangely familiar. A rave is organised for twisted characters: The Argonaut, The Knife Sharpener, and The Devil's Advocate converge for one last Saturday night at the Drome Hotel.

Review:
"Warner's second novel is a classic like his first one... glorious... powerful" (Independent)
"A moving evocation of post- apocalyptic rave culture in the West Highlands of contemporary Scotland" (Independent on Sunday)
"Prodigious powers of invention... marvellously dynamic prose... brilliant visual imagination... A greatly ambitious novel" (Times Literary Supplement)
"Think of the inventiveness of Iain Banks filtered through the lurid lens of a David Lynch, with a soundtrack from Verve and Bob Dylan... These Demented Lands is fiction 'on the Outer Rim of everything'. Rave on, child" (Scotsman)
"With a style that fuses poetic discipline with the riff-based scat of a hedonist" (Esquire)
