Mono
Set in a surreal totalitarian state populated by spies, vampires, robots and chimpanzees, Mono offers the reader a kaleidoscope of mutating story-lines. Eve is abducted and imprisoned in a subterranean compound. The sinister Mirrors inject readymade dreams into the minds of citizens. Dr Mort brings extinct animals back to life. Serge plots the assassination of a dictator... Binding all the strands together is the portrait of a writer who is desperate to expose the truth about the bleak world in which he lives, but who cannot distinguish between memories, fantasies and dreams. Accompanied by sixty monochrome illustrations and written in Knight's characteristically terse, darkly humorous style, Mono is perhaps best described as an entertaining nightmare.

An absurd experimental riff on a futuristic noir. Nonsensical, witty and thoroughly engaging in spit of itself. “You” or some variation of “you” is at the centre of this illustrated novella which may or may not be a dream. Sound bizarre? Yes, but it is just light enough and just the right length to work brilliantly.
