This sturdy, dishwasher-proof mug features a striking image illustrating one of the great science fiction novels of the twentieth century - ROADSIDE PICNIC by the brothers Strugatsky, inspiration for Tarkovsky's film STALKER. The Zone is one of the settings for this remarkable journey into the horrors of a world after alien contact, and is bought to mysterious life by Autun Purser's detailed and evocative art, originally used as part of his 'Fantastic Destinations' series.
Part of a series of mugs inspired by Gollancz's Fantasy and SF Masterwork series - other titles include SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Ray Bradbury and MYTHAGO WOOD by Robert Holdstock.
Presented in an attractive and sturdy cardboard box for safety and display.
