Description
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

About the Author
Hiron Ennes is a writer, musician and student of medicine based in the Pacific Northwest. Their areas of interest include infectious disease, pathology and anti-capitalist healthcare reform. When they're not hunched over a microscope or Word document, they can be found playing in the snow or playing the harp (though usually not at the same time). They're queer in every sense of the word, and they really want to pet your dog.
