Reviews

Hiron Ennes is a visionary creative who writes like no one else – their imagination is vibrant and seemingly dauntless. The 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
A lush and seductive story, rife with opulent horror and decaying decadence
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
The Thing meets The Alienist . . . beautifully written and so strangely humane . . . I will follow this writer anywhere going forward
