description: A dystopian fantasy of earthquakes killing fields drug addiction and routine eviscerations that is also profoundly humane and laugh-out-loud funny. Camille DeAngelis author of Bones and AllThe Gone-Away gods were real once and taller than towers. But theyre long dead now buried in the catacombs beneath the city of Eth where their calcified organs radiate an eldritch power that calls out to anyone hardy enough to live in this cut-throat war-torn land. Some survivors are human while others are close enough but all are struggling to carve out their lives in a world both unforgiving and wondrous. Darkly comic and viciously original Viscera is an unforgettable journey through swords-and-sorcery fantasy where strangeness gleams from every nook and cranny.Exquisitely imagined deeply insightful yet scathingly witty Viscera barrels along at a scorching pace after vividly realized characters whose separate questsfor identity for revenge for releasefind themselves on a collision course in a world that's simultaneously both grimdark and surreal. Lusciously weird and utterly unique. Nicole Kornher-Stace author of Archivist WaspViscera is a work of gleeful weirdness set in a world that calls to mind China Miville's Bas-Lag novels and full of characters fighting to reshape themselves and their destinies in search of deep and resonant truth. Kat Howard author of Roses and Rot
