Product Information

In Nick Holdstock's The Casualties, a man recounts the final weeks of his neighborhood before the apocalyptic event that only a few of the eccentric residents will survive. Samuel Clark likes secrets. He wants to know the hidden stories of the bizarre characters on the little streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. He wants to know about a nymphomaniac, a man who lives under a bridge, a girl with a cracked face. He wants to uncover their histories because he has secrets of his own. He believes, as people do, that he is able to change. He believes, as the whole world does, that there is plenty of time to solve his problems. But Samuel Clark and the rest of the world are wrong. Change and tragedy are going to scream into his and everyone's lives. It will be a great transformation, a radical change; and it just might be worth the cost. Written by a rising literary star whose work has been published in notoriously selective publications such as n+1 and The Southern Review , The Casualties is an ambitious debut novel that explores how we see ourselves, our past and our possible futures. It asks the biggest question: How can we be saved?

Reviews
As readers we want to be thrilled, moved, tickled, saddened, something. But we don't always ask outright for what we really want: a brilliant, one of a kind story. With The Casualties Nick Holdstock did it; it's a wholly unique, lightning bolt of a book. The writing isn't exactly like anybody else. The ideas aren't plucked from a fashionable tree. The arc isn't by numbers. Like encountering a personality you just haven't met before, the book feels... new. Put it this way; despite knowing that something nasty was barreling toward Holdstock's Comely Bank, I wanted to be there when it arrived, wanted to be with the characters when it was so close you could hear it, wanted to see the looks on their faces, wanted to kiss one, hold the hand of another. The novel is a wave of sensible madness. A masterpiece snapshot. If that sounds lofty, open her up, start on page one, and let it wash over you completely., " The Casualties is a book like few others published today. Holdstock's writing achieves a level of precision that, seemingly, is becoming harder and harder to find. There is an inimitable craftsmanship within these pages that is both piercing and stunning. Nick Holdstock has bred a rare and beautiful bird with The Casualties . We need more writers like him." -Jason Mott, New York Times bestselling author of The Returned, Holdstock vividly presents his odd and varied characters, and places them in a world that is at once both colorful and recognizably everyday. The protagonists' personalities and actions are quirky but believable, and given added weight by their place in time: The Casualties is a twist on the post-apocalyptic novel in that it reexamines the world just before its end. This perspective, and the continuing mystery of the narrator's identity, nudge the reader into asking uncomfortable questions about life and its length and meaning. In its ending, Holdstock's unusual creation leaves certain details to the imagination. Strong characterization and a creative plot, both familiar and bizarre, give this novel enduring allure., Contemplative without being preachy, Holdstock explores the ills of today's world and asks what might be different if we knew tomorrow might never come or how we might change if we could truly leave the past behind. A first novel well worth checking out., There's no denying the vein of creativity that's being tapped by such fin-de-siecle fidgeting... In The Casualties , the typical Carnaby Street sneer of a certain neighborhood or village being "stuck in the past" is, like so much else in the book, weirdly (and, at the novel's end, pointedly) inverted into a kind of benison. That genuinely is alarming, but readers might be enjoying the stories too much to care., The Casualties is a book like few others published today. Holdstock's writing achieves a level of precision that, seemingly, is becoming harder and harder to find. There is an inimitable craftsmanship within these pages that is both piercing and stunning. Nick Holdstock has bred a rare and beautiful bird with The Casualties . We need more writers like him.
