Collected for the first time in one volume, three of Martin Millar’s most exciting explorations into the inner-city underworld of riots, poets, kilted fairies and the bizarre imagination of the most original of new-generation British novelists.

The Good Fairies of New York sends Morag and Heather, two kilted thistle fairies expelled from their enchanted glen for sex, drugs, anarchy and playing the Ramones too loud on their fiddles to New York in attempts to make amends with disastrous consequences.

Lux the Poet is based in the crazed comic world of the Brixton underworld introducing such characters as Cynthia Werewolf and her book of Gods and Godesses,a poet with a Star Wars toothbrush and Lana Turner looks, arcade game junkies, speed freaks.

Ruby & the Stoneage Diet introduces us to the beautiful and wise Ruby in her lilac dress and bare feet, and shoplifting lesbians.

Full of Millar’s unique wit and irony they instantly became post-punk classics expressing a flick-knife sharp eye for the details and absurdities of 20th century urban life.
