Book Two of The Fold
Ljubo Snap has problems. His father, a famous necronaut, is addicted to a terrible drug called ink, delivered
in smashed lightbulbs. His brother Aleks,
formerly a master of the psychic art known as Folding, has
been surgically stripped of his powers by the all-powerful
School and has collapsed into alcoholism (and other vices). And the whole Snap
family faces imminent financial disaster unless Ljubo—himself an accomplished Folder and “thoughtsnatch,” someone
who traffics in secrets plucked from unsuspecting minds—
can uncover information valuable enough to earn them all
enough jack to survive in the cruel Fevers of Pip’s Cross,
the psychic city that Travels the universe on the back of a
gigantic psychic octopus known as The General.
Radically expanding the canvas first sketched out
in 2014’s Sharing, Miracle Jones’s
Shifting
tells the story of
a city—part Victorian, part hypermodern, riven with sex,
dreams, and intrigue—and of the people within it who fight
to find dignity in surviving.
"Combines the prose of David Mitchell or Tom Robbins with the ideas and raw insights into humanity of Kurt Vonnegut . . . If I were to recommend one lesser known indie author, it's Miracle Jones."—Jeremy Blaustein, translator of Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
