"Ya Ya! The flowers are spurting pollen all over the Manchester
map. Gumbo never seen such a giant, golden step before."
In a strange re-mixed future Manchester a cloud of Pollen descends – a new strain, each tiny grain a murderer. Within days the streets of the city are overgrown with vicious blooms as the fiercest hay fever epidemic of all time takes hold.
People are sneezing themselves to death and the pollen count is
racing towards 2,000. But a small percentage of the population are
immune to the fever. Two of them – shadow-cop Sibyl Jones and her wayward daughter Boda – are on separate paths into the dark place from where the pollen originates. What they find there will change their lives together. Only they can save the city.

The residents of a village outside Moscow wake up and discover that the road has disappeared and the usual paths out all lead back to the village. The woods have grown overnight from a weedy copse to a dark forest inhabited by something mysterious and unfriendly.
There are strange noises and strange visitations and villagers are plagued by odd thoughts and desires. Pervasive voices call from the river. Is Katya the only one that can see what’s going on?
