A naive everyman is taken hostage by a dying artist, a small town vainly clings onto its legacy, two feuding circuses are forced to combine, and a mugging victim transforms into a deeply misguided vigilante. These are just four of the twisted, left field and often-hilarious stories from the most versatile new author you've never heard of. In a world filled with everyday tales and experiences that veer from the comical to the tragic, from the uplifting to the heartbreaking, and all the shadowy places in-between, Frantic Planet is a look at reality, as reflected in a grotesque hall of mirrors.

After a terrorist attack on the capital leaves a wounded nation unified in panic and collectively grieving for an infant killed in the blast, one man finds his own special way of coping with a sudden growing sense of isolation. Meanwhile, a disparate group of damaged D-listers undertake a last-ditch journey to reinvent themselves and shake loose the labels that define them. Millard's follow-up to 2006's first volume is a book of fame and identity, obsession and social shame, and of broken people who feel increasingly further away in a world that grows smaller each day.
