Exire

Exire is not a novel. It is not a collection of short stories. It is, instead, both of these stories that may stand alone whilst being inextricably tied together. It is Helen Mort s first foray into the world of fiction beyond poetry. Dystopian Britain, the year unspecified. A new website, Exire, offers those who feel disconnected from their lives one last act of choice, packaged as a bespoke service. In this unsettling collection, voices fade in and out, people connected by Exire s troubling appeal. At the heart of it all is Lorna, a young musician who has made a painful decision. We hear her story in reverse.
