<p><b>'Remarkable' <i>GUARDIAN</i><br>'Mesmerising' <i>TELEGRAPH</i><br>'A voice that must be heard' PATTI SMITH</b></p><p><b>An exhilarating, immersive journey into the Exclusion Zone of Chornobyl with the disaffected adventurers who illegally stalk its ruins</b></p><p>Amidst the toxic desolation of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, a subculture has sprung up. They call themselves 'stalkers': wild adventurers who sneak past border controls to get lost in this apocalyptic environment of dense swampland and rusted ruins. Markiyan Kamysh is one, and here he takes us on a hallucinatory journey into an alien world.</p><p>With reckless energy, Kamysh tells of escapes from the police, hedonistic nights in bombed-out buildings and the spectral beauty that got him hooked on returning to the Zone. Brash, immersive and ecstatic, this is a singular document of a dystopian reality.</p>

Recensioner i media

'An existential travel guide and an experiment in gonzo psychogeography, it stirs obvious comparisons with Hunter S Thompson... mesmerising' - The Telegraph 'A voice that must be heard' - Patti Smith (via Instagram) 'Kamyshs throbbing, fragmentary prose offers heart-stopping insight into what drives those who choose to trespass in dangerous places: reckless abandon in abandoned places' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment 'Kamysh has made us understand why he thinks the zone around Chornobyl is so special, why - because of its desolate serenity, and the freedom it grants from the strictures of normal life - it may even be worth dying for. No mean feat... Remarkable' - Guardian 'A brilliant, angry, witty, passionate book about the end of the future and what happens afterwards - Tarkovsky meets Hunter S. Thompson. Read it' - Kevin Power, author of White City
