I feel that Nicholas Royle is possibly the single greatest living exponent of Hyper-Imaginative Literature (H-IL on the Upslope)! Just have a look at his CV by means of the links (here: https://dflewisreviews.wordpress.com/14748-2/ ) to my reviews of his own fiction as dislocatory doppels, to his editing of the Best British Short Stories paperback series plus other anthologies, to his publication of Nightjar Press fiction booklets, and to his quirky love of physical books in themselves as shown by, inter alia, his non-fiction.
And much else.

When I first encountered the novel THE PARRY AND THE LUNGE by DAVID MATHEW, I knew this was it!
H-IL on the up-slope!
I later read his emerging fiction books thereafter: SICK DICE, DREADNOUGHT FLEX, PANIC SOUP, NOSTALGIA’S BOAT and ABANDONED DENTAL CLINICS. All my reviews of this fiction by Dr. David Mathew linked from here — https://dflewisreviews.wordpress.com/tag/david-mathew/
He also has academic books to his credit.
