Leech

A wonderful new entry to Gothic science fiction, impeccably clever and atmospheric. Think Wuthering Heights... with worms! --Tamsyn Muir Emotionally complex, wildly inventive, and full of squirming terror... This is a must-read for readers looking for something new from the horror genre. --Publishers Weekly, starred review Leech uses language with startling acrobatism, creating a world steeped with more secrets than the human body can contain. --Cassandra Khaw Worldbuilding both subtle and surprising. Killer prose. Grotesque biology like I've never seen. If you've ever wondered what would happen if David Cronenberg and Edgar Allen Poe bumped into each other at the same parasitological conference, here's your answer. --Peter Watts Startlingly original, yet eerily familiar, with Leech, Ennes spins classic Gothic horror and fascinating science fiction into a creation that is disturbing, horrifying, and impossible to turn away from. --Brom This book managed to surprise me, and that's not easy for this jaded reader. I read everything, therefore I thought I had seen everything. Leech isn't like anything I've read before. --Tade Thompson, author of Rosewater A tense, disturbing work of Gothic horror that embraces difficult themes of power, abuse, agency, and raw survival in an unforgettably apocalyptic setting. Gory, shocking, raw -- and utterly humane. --Kameron Hurley Leech is wonderful, with a truly unique protagonist, a gooey, squicky post-apocalyptic setting, and a dose of Gormenghast gothic. Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and The Traitor Baru Cormorant. --Django Wexler A razor-sharp balance between the Gothic and the weird, Leech is a startling surprise. A unique narrator, a complex and twisted world, toe-curling horror -- I wanted to keep reading. --World Fantasy Award-winning author G. V. Anderson What a unique book! Surreal body horror, surprising turns, and staggering ideas -- all woven together by beautiful writing. This debut novel is one to remember. --Tim Lebbon
