China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station brought the New Weird into mainstream consciousness, blending industrial grime, baroque imagination, and unrelenting strangeness in a genre-defying masterpiece. Winner of both the Arthur C. Clarke Award and the British Fantasy Award, the novel introduces readers to the richly imagined world of Bas-Lag, where the boundaries between science, magic, and nightmare dissolve.
New Crobuzon, the vast and teeming heart of Bas-Lag, is a city of contradictions—both grotesque and majestic, oppressive yet bursting with restless creativity. In its tangled streets and towering factories, an impossible demand and a rogue scientist’s reckless experiments set a chain of horrors in motion, drawing together a cast of revolutionaries, criminals, artists, and machines to confront an unspeakable threat.
Our thanks to the Folio Society and the author for permission to include a slightly edited version of the afterword originally written for the Folio Society’s limited edition .
