About the Book

Luci LaBang is a star: for decades this flamboyant drag artist has cast a spell over screen and stage. Now she's the leading lady in a smash hit pantomime.

When Luci's co-star meets with a mysterious accident, a new ingenue shimmers onto the scene, and Luci is immediately smitten with the fantastically beautiful Luda and her sinister charm. 

Luda begs Luci to share the secrets of her stardom and to reveal the hidden tricks of her trade. For Luci LaBang is a mistress of the Glamour, an arcane discipline that draws on sex, drugs, and the occult for its trancelike, transformative effects. 

But as Luci tutors her young protegee, their fellow actors and crew members begin meeting with untimely ends. Now Luci wonders if Luda has mastered the Glamour all too well.

What follows is an intoxicating descent into the demimonde of Gasglow, a fantastical city of dreams, and into the nightmarish heart of Luda herself: a femme fatale, a phenomenon, a monster, and, perhaps, the brightest star of them all.

Review :
'An impeccably realised phantasmagoric plunge into an alternate Glasgow, a cocktail shaker of magic, hilarity, and gender dissolving madness.' - Frankie Boyle

'If Sontag's notion of camp became a religion this would be a seminal text. A glorious exploration of the borderlands of identity, gender and lippy. Loved it.' - Denise Mina

'A deliriously wild spell no other author could have conjured.' - The Bookseller's Scotland Focus Editor's Choice

'Grant Morrison is a modern mythmaker.' - Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity

'Brilliant.' - LA Times
