The Bureau of Lost Souls is a collection of twelve linked tales of urban paranoia in which the stresses and strains of city life force lurking fears into the open and provide a catalyst for bizarre events. Christopher Fowler writes with black humour about desperate people in seemingly ordinary situations-workers in offices and friends in pubs, husbands and wives in apartments and houses. All of them the most unlikely, and therefore the most likely, people to find themselves trapped within their own personal, private visions of Hell. E-208; 8.5 X 5.5 X 1.0 inches; 244 pages.
