Trade ReviewPraise for The Vorrh Trilogy * : *
In Brian Catling's
phosphorescent masterpiece The Vorrh we have one of the
most original and stunningworks of fantasy that has ever been my privilege to read,
a brilliant and sustained piece of invention which establishes
a benchmark not just for imaginative writing but for the human imagination in itself. After investigating other worlds of fantasy,
The Vorrh is like a first experience of the ocean.
Read this book, and marvel. * Alan Moore *
Brian Catling is
simply a genius. His writing is
so extraordinary it hurts, it makes me realize how little imagination I have. * Terry Gilliam *
I really loved Brian Catling's
The Vorrh. It's
a hot storm of a novel bursting with
art and history, sex and nature. A visionary fantasy epic that is
incredibly fun to read. Wildly different, but no less remarkable. * Max Porter *
There are not many books that
rearrange the molecules of your being, turning your eyes inside out.
The Vorrh, this saturnine post-traumatic testament, is one of them.
A work of genius. * Iain Sinclair *
The English language has given birth to some great works of unbounded vision and imagination, and here is another one... It's a very
sophisticated and
subtle exploration of the decadent, primitive and the mythical. Many books are said to be
like nothing else, and aren't, but Brian Catling's really is. * Philip Pullman *
Although comparisons to Michael Moorcock and Mervyn Peake will inevitably be drawn,
The Vorrh offers something more...It reminded me of Odilon Redon: a
combination of the luminous, the luxurious, monstrous flora and dark wit * TLS *
When they
write the history of 21st century literature, I am sure that
this series of books will be more than prominent. * Scotland on Sunday *
