An intimate and mischievous story collection, bursting with desire and playful humour, from legendary film director Pedro Almodovar

'A major literary talent' KAVEH AKBAR, author of Martyr!

'Akin to a Spanish Angela Carter' TELEGRAPH

The Last Dream brings together twelve stories from legendary film director Pedro Almodovar's personal archive. Delivering a tantalising glimpse into Almodovar's world, together they reflect his most intimate obsessions, as well as his daring evolution as an artist.

Ranging from a beautiful chronicle of the death of Almodovar's mother in 'The Last Dream', to a love story between Jesus and Barabbas, a cult film director out in search of painkillers on a bank holiday weekend, the original story behind the film Bad Education, and a gothic tale of a repentant vampire, these mischievous stories delight and surprise.

'A heady mix of factual and fictitious, befitting of one of cinema's most imaginative storytellers' OBSERVER

'Keenly observed and spiritually sumptuous' EMPIRE
