  • How to train your human

    £9.99

    We live on a planet infested with humans. They are a pernicious species, yet undeniably clever and capable – even if the reasons behind their actions are often incomprehensible to us felines. But while it is true that there have never been so many primates on Earth, in reality, they are quite simple to teach using well-practiced domestication techniques, such as loud vocalizations, strategic nighttime alarms, and selective displays of affection. And if you choose your specimen carefully, you’ll find that it can be completely tamed, and you’ll end up with the best, most faithful companion you could possibly wish for. Andrea Ferolla’s illustrations make this helpful guide a feast of fancies for the eyes.

  • The unfinished Harauld Hughes

    £16.99

    The gifted filmmaker, corduroy activist and amateur dentist, Richard Ayoade, first chanced upon a copy of ‘The Two-Hander Trilogy’ by Harauld Hughes in a second-hand bookshop. At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the author’s photo, he opened the volume and was electrified. Terse, aggressive, and elliptical, what was true of Ayoade was also true of Hughes’s writing, which encompassed stage, screen, and some of the shortest poems ever published. Ayoade embarked on a documentary, ‘The Unfinished Harauld Hughes’, to understand the unfathomable collapse of Hughes’s final film ‘O Bedlam! O Bedlam!’, taking us deep inside the most furious British writer since the Boer War. This is the story of the story of that quest.
