Sobre este áudio

'An intriguing work of whimsi-grotesquerie' – Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six

He was sent to kill a pest. Instead, he found a monster.

Monster hunters tangle with court politics in this horror adventure by the critically acclaimed author of Leech.

Enter the decadent, deadly city of Tiliard.

In a complex, chaotic metropolis, 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, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters

'I will follow this writer anywhere going forward' – Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

Resumo da Crítica

A hallucinatory scorpion sting (Elizabeth Bear, author of the White Space series)
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)
Ennes is an alchemist, and The Works of Vermin is its own, new element. A brilliant blend of intense intrigue and the fantastically macabre (Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House)
