The End Of Everything
Longlisted for The Booker Prize 2026
SYNOPSIS
Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artefacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid. It feels like the end.
Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artefact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows.
REVIEWS
Confounding, brilliant ... What drives it is the tension from all that strangeness being reported in calm, often drily witty prose - Times
Harrison isn't weirder than most other writers, just better. Reading The End of Everything, you feel you're not so much reading as dreaming - 5-star review, Telegraph
Dreamlike and baffling, The End of Everything elucidates humanity's disintegrating existence with strange clarity - Michel Faber, Guardian
Extremely beautiful and terrifyingly remote. Reading it hit me like a truck ... It's a novel that destabilises you - quite savagely - in the course of its reading. But you're absolutely not walking away. You're locked in, and you're having the time of your life - Helen Macdonald, Observer
A memorable, haunting work ... a world that's all the more uncanny on account of its proximity to our own - Irish Times
M. John Harrison is the closest thing we have to a present-day Wyndham or Ballard - New Statesman
A bracing vision - Spectator
This is a formidable book: dusky, casually horrifying, unexpectedly compassionate - Financial Times
A work of genius - New Scientist
A work of uncanny beauty, tender and terrifying in equal parts - Literary Review
To take the boisterous trope of the "alien invasion" and render it into this visionary and brilliant investigation of anxious times is breath-taking chutzpah. Of which we are lucky to be the beneficiaries - China Miéville
This is powerful stuff ... thrilling and disturbing - Mark Haddon
