Opening in East London, Migraine follows two men, one young and the other on the other side of middle age, as they cross the weather-ravaged city pursuing a doomed love.

'For a story about civilisational collapse it's remarkable how intimate Migraine is, how lived-in, how rich in sense of place. Fisher has written a great London novel by sweeping nearly everything from the city and then leaning in close to what remains' Ned Beauman


Praise for Wivenhoe by Samuel Fisher


'An elegantly terrifying narrative that is reminiscent of Graham Swift's Waterland in its focus on an insular, secretive community in the east of England' Observer


'Eerie and disorientating, visceral and elusive. I felt safe yet scared. Such skillful and sensory storytelling' Ashley Hickson-Lovence


'Fisher tells a story of lives lived under threat of destruction: the cruel competitions it sets up, and the ways in which human affection lasts. It's a loving book' Daisy Hildyard
