Synopsis

A dark tale of England a few years from now. An England like the England of today but different. Two characters who are hooked on Vurt Feathers - the most powerful drug you can imagine. It lets them escape the rain-washed streets, the holographic cops, the overflowing bottle banks, the virtual reality of Coronation Street.

Revue de presse

"Vurt hasn't lost a shred of its originality or power ... With the entire world on drugs, things are understandably dystopian, but the legitimate human emotion keeps everything grounded and adds a real beauty, like a rainbow reflected in an oil slick ... Vurt was already essential reading, as much in 2013 as in 1993."
