Following up on the World Fantasy Award-winning "Leviathan 3", "Leviathan 4" is a Baedeker of the fantastical, exploring the character of cities and the city as character, mapping the streets of the imagination.

This fourth volume of the "Leviathan" series takes the reader to a variety of cities in all their splendor and decadence.

Explore the streets of the imagination, wander the byways, and hear the stories of these fantastical foci with such authors as Philip K.

Dick Award winner Stepan Chapman, International Horror Guild Award Winner Michael Cisco, and "The Etched City" author KJ Bishop.

What others have said about previous volumes in the "Leviathan" series: 'Literary decadence is the credo of "Leviathan": elaborately languorous prose, ambitious and sometimes esoteric symbolism, flamboyant grotesquerie, the sensibility of the sophisticatedly jaded aesthete.

This is a recipe for fine, unusual writing, for startlingly unconventional textual effects; "Leviathan" ...is a feast for palates this way inclined...Decadent fantasy has rarely had this attractive and substantial a vehicle' - Nick Gevers, "Locus". '...The variety and ambition of this compilation mandates that lovers of speculative fiction consider it for their own self-defined libraries' - "Publishers Weekly".
