The summer of 2003: a heat wave engulfs Europe; the world's attention is held by the occupation of Iraq and the whereabouts of its former leader. Meanwhile, in Berlin, beneath the heat shimmering concrete bauble of the TV tower, Matthias tries to conceal his identity as an outcast from another world. Subculture is a new novella by Warren Hargodd, included here with Kradditho and Night, two pieces of short fantasy fiction written in 2005.
