Editor's Notes
 
Enter New Crobuzon: a city filled with science, steampunk and slake-moths. This breathtaking dive into China Miéville's haunting cityscape is vividly depicted by Doug Bell's immersive scratchboard-effect art and features an exclusive new afterword by the author.

With a host of characters as intricate as the city itself, Perdido Street Station is the ultimate steampunk novel and one that holds the reader gripped from its opening pages to its dramatic conclusion. No wonder it won the Arthur C. Clarke award and continues to hold the baton for Weird literature.
Synopsis
 
In the sprawling, chaotic city of New Crobuzon, where magic and machinery intertwine, a dangerous experiment unleashes a nightmare that threatens to consume everything. Isaac, a rogue scientist, unwittingly sets a monstrous force loose and must rally an unlikely band of outcasts to confront it. As the city teeters on the brink of destruction, the battle delves into the darkest corners of human ambition and the eerie beauty of the bizarre.

China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station is a spellbinding journey into a world teeming with grotesque wonders, savage horrors and the relentless pulse of revolution.
