Will Self: Dr Mukti And Other Tales Of Woe
Return To The Planet Of The Humans
[This short story was first published in Dr Mukti And Other Tales Of Woe]
Will Self – Dr Mukti And Other Tales Of Woe
Then he was back, suddenly and savagely. Not that he knew he was back, he simply found himself in a room full of monsters, lanky, pasty giants clad in disgusting nether garments, who, rather than beat him compassionately into stability, kept their distance and moaned. Their vocalisations were so low and febrile, so ghostly. They made no signs that he could comprehend and when he could bear it no longer he attacked.

Will Self – Dr Mukti And Other Tales Of Woe
Synopsis:
A new novella and four new short stories from Will Self (his first since 1999’s Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys), which see him return to the disturbing and ruckled terrain of his bestselling first collection. Dr Mukti and Other Tales of Woe is another warped window on the wibbly-wobbly world of fear and fun that Self – like some malevolent deity – has fashioned over the years.
