Hiron Ennes
Acerca de esta escucha
'An intriguing work of whimsi-grotesquerie'
OLIVIE BLAKE
He was sent to kill a pest. Instead, he found a monster.
In the decadent, deadly city of Tiliard, Guy Moulène has a simple goal: keep his sister out of debt. For her sake, he'll take on any job, no matter how vile.
As an exterminator, Guy hunts the uncanny pests that crawl up from the river. These vermin are all strange, and often dangerous. His latest quarry is different: a worm the size of a dragon with a deadly venom and a ravenous taste for artwork. As it digests Tiliard from the sewers to the opera houses, its toxin reshapes the future of the city. No sane person would hunt it, if they had the choice.
Guy doesn't have a choice.
'A lush and seductive story, rife with opulent horror and decaying decadence'
SUNYI DEAN
Reseñas de la Crítica
'Tiliard is a wonderfully gooey, oozy, rotting mess of a city, full of gnawing vermin and weaponized perfume, and the story of its revolution is a squicky blast. Fans of Max Gladstone or Seth Dickinson will love this one' (Django Wexler, author of How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying)
'In the space of two novels, Hiron Ennes has become one of the very few inhabitants of my Read-On-Sight list. The Works of Vermin isn’t for everyone; those in thrall to YA might run screaming from the room, and good riddance. But if you’re a fan of Mervyn Peake, Gene Wolfe, China Miéville – mammal, have I got a book for you. A book to be not so much read as wallowed and rolled around in' (Peter Watts, author of Blindsight and Echopraxia)
'A brilliant, shapeshifting puzzle box of a book, as beautiful as it is bewildering. Rarely is language used so ecstatically these days. Read it aloud to someone – its mystery is best untangled with the mouth' (Christopher Buehlman, author of The Daughters’ War)
