Joel Lane (1963-2013) was one of the UK's foremost writers of dark, unsettling fiction, in the tradition of Robert Aickman and M John Harrison. With a tight focus on the specifics of place - namely the post-industrial Black Country and his home city of Birmingham - he created a distinct form of British urban weird fiction, with a powerful eye for the darkness at the edge of our of cities.

Scar City is one of the final collections put together before Joel Lane's death in 2013 - with his home city of Birmingham as their nucleus, these are intense, haunting and often painful stories from a master of the short form.
