Now adapted into a film & the winner of the Special Jury Prize
at San Sebastian International Film Festival A standalone novel by
iconic artist and author of cult bestseller, The Vorrh Not since
Edgar Allan Poe and Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita has there
been such a masterly tale of feline evil. Earwig got his nickname
from his grandfather. At the start of this story he is employed to
look after a strange little girl in a flat in Liege. He spies on
her, listens to her by holding a glass up to the wall. But he never
touches her except when, as part of his duties, he is required to
make teeth of ice and insert them in her gums. Earwig takes a rare
day off, which he spends drinking by himself in Au Metro, a seedy
bar full of drunks, dancers and eccentrics. It is St Martin's day
and in the evening as crowds parade through the street carrying
lanterns through the snow, he is drawn reluctantly into a
conversation with a sinister stranger called Tyre. As a result
Earwig accidentally maims a waitress with a broken bottle. He
understands that on some level Tyre meant this to happen. Shortly
afterwards a black cat is delivered to the flat, unasked for. The
girl forms an immediate bond with it, but Earwig identifies it as
the enemy. Travelling across country by train, transporting the
girl and her black cat, Earwig is increasingly caught up in a web
of unfortunate and increasingly violent coincidences.
