Scablands

Tales of the post industrial scablands - stories of austerity, poverty, masochism and migration. The people are sick, lonely, lost, half living in the aftermath of upheaval or trauma. A teacher obsessively canes himself. A neurologist forgets where home is. A starving woman sells hugs in an abandoned kiosk. Yet sometimes, even in the twilit scablands, there's also beauty, music, laughter. Sometimes a town square is filled with bubbles. Sometimes sisters dream they can fly. And sometimes Gustav Mahler lives just around the corner, hoarding rare records in a Stoke terrace.
