The Electric State

- Simon Stalenhag

( Hardback )


Set in a post-apocalyptic 1997, The Electric State is the story of Michelle who, accompanied by her toy robot Skip, sets out across the western United States in a stolen car to find her missing brother. Told in achingly melancholy, spare prose and featuring almost a hundred gorgeous, full-colour illustrations, The Electric State is a novel like no other.

Lighthouse Andrew says: It’s fucking dope! The illustrations are so cinematic, it’s like reading a movie!
