Migraine

£16.99

Migraine | By Samuel Fisher

Opening in East London, Migraine follows two men as they cross the weather-ravaged city pursuing a doomed love. The snow has melted, but the thaw reveals a world transformed.

London is in ruins, its population a fraction of its pre-freeze level. The weather has become wildly unpredictable - huge pressure swings leading to powerful localised storms. And this has led to an epidemic of migraine.

When a storm hits, the pain comes, along with a wide range of visual and haptic hallucinations named migraine 'aura'. The novel starts with Ellis, one of a very small proportion of the population who don't suffer from weather-induced migraines, being struck by a migraine attack for the first time. After being blinded by hallucinations, he wakes in a ruined bookshop with its former owner, Sam, who pulled him to safety from the storm.

No longer excluded from the migraine epidemic, Ellis decides to find his ex-girlfriend, Luna, and win her back. With Sam tagging along, he sets out from the bookshop and heads south. Compelling and insightful, Migraine is concerned with questions such as: what does a society look like, if it's organised around chronic pain? What kind of culture would this set of conditions produce?
