Books by James Knight

Void Voices is a descent into the Hell that is our contemporary culture. Inevitably, Trump and Brexit feature. Dante's guide was Virgil; Knight's is an undead T S Eliot. Along the way, the reader is assailed by a cacophony of heterogeneous material, including song lyrics, doctored news stories, lines from old poems, transcriptions of nonsense texts generated by Google Translate. The Hell is that of our culture; it is also that of the poem itself: poem as voice-filled void.

"The mannequins are here again. I can feel them throbbing in my ears. They're standing around in the kitchen, impassive as stone. But inside they're laughing. I'm not getting out of bed for them, not this time." In the Dark Room is a surreal novella written and illustrated by James Knight, author of Head Traumas. The story is narrated by a bedridden man who finds himself besieged by memories, fantasies and the mannequins at the bottom of the stairs. Knight's combination of words and pictures invites us into a strange yet familiar world, governed by the logic of a dream. This special edition includes 40 full colour "oneirographs", Knight's trademark dream pictures.

"A brilliant piece of work." Jeff Noon, author of Vurt, Falling Out of Cars & The Automated Alice The Bird King is mad again. He caws through empty midnight streets, moulting tar-black feathers. James Knight's poetic account of the weird world of the Bird King is accompanied by Diana Probst's beautiful, unsettling watercolour illustrations, rendered here in full colour. Look the Bird King in the eye, see into the clunking clockwork of his dark heart.

"Sometimes the mannequins get behind my eyes I feel them tugging the strings of my nerves playing with my mechanisms They make themselves at home in the lumber room of my skull.." James Knight's latest collection of poems and prose poems takes the reader to the other side of the mirror, where the Bird King reigns and mannequins are more real than people.
