'Unique and utterly assured, I will follow this writer anywhere'
– Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl In the baron’s icebound
castle, a parasite is spreading . . . In an isolated chateau, as
far north as north goes, the baron’s doctor has died. The
Interprovincial Medical Institute sends out a replacement. But when
the new physician investigates the cause of death, which appears to
be suicide, there’s a mystery to solve. It seems the good doctor
was hosting a parasite. Yet this should have been impossible, as
the physician was already possessed – by the Institute. The
Institute is here to help humanity, to cure and to cut, to cradle
and protect the species from the horrors their ancestors unleashed.
For hundreds of years, it has taken root in young minds and shaped
them into doctors, replacing every human practitioner of medicine.
But now there’s competition. For in the baron’s icebound
castle, already a pit of secrets and lies, the parasite is
spreading . . . These two enemies will make war within the
battlefield of the body. Whichever wins, will humanity lose again?
Leech by Hiron Ennes is an atmospheric Gothic triumph, perfect for
fans of Jeff VanderMeer and Silvia Moreno-Garcia. ‘A wonderful
new entry to Gothic science fiction, impeccably clever and
atmospheric. Think Wuthering Heights . . . with worms!’ –
