Tales From the Netherworld

Tales from the Netherworld

A collection of short stories

“Fiercely original.”

— The Nile

A king struggles to love his talentless son, a businessman disconnects from reality in a Paris airport, a mother grapples with the implications of quantum physics, and a little boy who can talk to the dead learns to silence their voices.

Unsettlingly funny stories that defy the conventional division between the everyday and the supernatural world.

"Randerson is a brilliant conductor through this prismatic netherworld."

— Azure Rissetto, Landfall
"Randerson invites readers to speculate, to suspend judgement and, most importantly, to empathise with, and alongside, the downtrodden and the down-and-out."
