The Vorrh

by Brian Catling

Description

A surreal, phantasmagoric epic about colonialism, memory, and myth set in a sentient African forest.

Blending fantasy, horror, and historical fiction, The Vorrh introduces readers to a world where a vast, ancient forest bends reality itself. From colonial settlers to cyborg assassins to reanimated Edwardian poets, the novel weaves disparate elements into a mythic meditation on power and resistance.

Catling’s language is poetic, strange, and utterly original. Recommended by Alan Moore, this cult novel is for readers who want their fiction to challenge the limits of imagination.
