Mud
'Mud is fucked up. It's unlike anything else. It's amazing.' - Sam Jordison, Co-founder Galley Beggar Press
'Engaging and witty... It's the oddest book of the year, and another triumph for this trail-blazing publisher.' - David Collard, The Idler
Borak and Karissa must search through 24 types of mud until they find a trapped bubble of air. Only then can they be released from their relationship.
Chris McCabe's macabre inversion of Orpheus and Eurydice brings its themes into the present day as we follow a couple whose quest forces them to resist throttling each other, and falling in love all over again. Illustrated with sculptures and mud prints.
