John Lanchester’s first book of shorter fictions, Reality, and Other Stories is a gathering of deliciously chilling entertainments, to be read as the evenings darken and the days are haunted by all the ghastly schlock, uncanny technologies and absurd horrors of modern life. These are very modern ghost stories from the Booker-nominated author of The Wall. John Lanchester reads an extract from these contemporary, biting satires.
