Souls Along The Meridian

ISBN 978-0-9805782-5-6

By Bill Congreve

Each story bears Congreve’s hallmark style – dark, prosaic and thought-provoking. From contemporary ghost stories to apocalyptic futures, from a deserted amusement park in an isolated town to the claustrophobic depths of the London Underground to the heat-drenched brutality of the Australian outback. These are tales of things we all hope and fear might just exist, somewhere, far from the safety of our lives.

Souls Along The Meridian is a book of dark futures and dreams. As the title story shows us, it is also a book about staying true to oneself in the face of whatever the world might throw at us.

Prepare to be provoked and entertained.

“A long-overdue collection from a writer generally known for publishing the best work of his peers but whose own stories are powerful, insightful and at the top of the game.

“Brutally satirical, humanely sorrowful or replete with blood, gristle and darkness, Bill Congreve’s tales explore the depths of the human and inhuman soul and linger in the heart and mind long after reading them.” – Robert Hood
