Settling the World: Selected Stories 1970-2020 by M. John Harrison

To my taste, the best stories in the book are those in which the weird intrudes on the ordinary (in an Aickmanesque fashion), rather than those in which the premise is a strange science-fiction in itself. That said, Harrison's elliptical style makes even the sci-fi stories never less than intriguing. I'm looking forward to seeing how Harrison sustains the unsettling and disorienting mood in a novel-length narrative.
