What if the future could be foreclosed?

Marla Trenwick returns to Galdin to find a place transformed by stability.

The Imaginary Monetary Fund has arrived.

It does not merely manage debt, currency or markets. It manages possibility itself, closing futures judged too volatile, too expensive or simply too unlikely to be allowed to happen.

Abandoned futures are traded. Unrealised lives acquire value. Possibility becomes collateral.

And beneath Voragon, the futures that were written off have begun to accumulate.

Then Marla discovers something the Fund cannot comfortably explain: the record of a country that officially never existed.

Imaginary Monetary Fund is a darkly comic speculative novella from the English Voodoo universe, about austerity, institutional power, memory, debt, and what happens when uncertainty itself becomes an economic problem.

Because when tomorrow becomes a liability, even hope needs collateral.
