The Works of Vermin by Hiron Ennes

Monster hunters tangle with court politics in a dark and decadent horror adventure by the critically acclaimed author of Leech.

Hiron Ennes is a visionary creative who writes like no one else – their imagination is vibrant and seemingly dauntlessThe Works of Vermin is an intriguing work of whimsi-grotesquerie that’s got it all: political intrigue, Wharton-esque manners, infectious disease, mysterious revenge and, of course, toxic bugs -- Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
A lush and seductive story, rife with opulent horror and decaying decadence -- Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters
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
I will follow this writer anywhere going forward -- Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl
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
