Editing Vurt (section)

==Plot summary==
''Vurt'' tells the story of Scribble and his "gang", the Stash Riders, as they search for his missing sister [[Desdemona]]. The novel is set in an alternate version of [[Manchester]], England, in which society has been shaped by Vurt, a hallucinogenic drug/shared [[Parallel universe (fiction)|alternate reality]], accessed by sucking on colour-coded [[feathers]]. Through some (never explained) mechanism, the [[dream]]s, [[mythology]], and imaginings of humanity have achieved [[objective reality]] in the Vurt and become "real".

Before the novel begins, Scribble and his sister take a shared trip into a vurt called English [[Haitian Vodou|Voodoo]], but upon awakening Scribble finds his sister has disappeared. Out of that trip comes an amorphous semi-sentient blob which Mandy, a fellow Stash Rider, nicknames "The Thing from Outer Space". From that point on, Scribble is on a mission to find a rare and contraband Curious Yellow feather so that he might find his sister.
