The first collection of short fiction from legendary comic book writer Alan Moore Illuminations is a momentous, wildly original collection of short stories from 'the king of comics' (Guardian), each featuring some kind of illumination or realisation. From the four horsemen of the apocalypse to the Boltzmann brains fashioning the universe at the Big Bang, Alan Moore's beguiling and exquisitely crafted tales reveal the full power of imagination and magic.
