A journalist is invited to the fabled Dinner of Loss to drink a viscous soup made of lost and extinct things. In the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a nihilistic sea captain becalms himself on a plastic sea, while in an English fishing village a senile Blackbeard reminisces about his bloodthirsty glory days. The failed conquistador Cabeza de Vaca sheds his personality on the swampy coasts of the New World, and in a cabin in the woods a couple are haunted by the ghosts of\u00a0Homo erectus<\/em>, Neanderthals and other extinct hominids. Elsewhere, a legendary beast is dragged from a Welsh mountain lake\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fourteen stories in Nick Hunt\u2019s debut collection of short fiction travel from sixteenth-century Mexico to a post-collapse near future, from a visionary supermarket to life on other planets. All of them revolve around different forms of loss. By turns blackly funny, disquieting and fantastical,\u00a0Loss Soup and Other Stories<\/em>\u00a0is a journey through the Anthropocene, climate chaos and the Sixth Extinction to the strange new worlds that might lie beyond.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nick Hunt <\/strong>is an author whose books include Walking the Woods and the Water, Where the Wild Winds Are, The Parakeeting of London: An Adventure In Gonzo Ornithology<\/em> and Outlandish.<\/em><\/p>\n
