Artists include Georges Barbier, Paul Iribe and Erte.
Editorial Review: I am glad to have the book as a companion on my own dark quest. (Tom Waits) Catling's novel reads like a long-lost classic of Decadent or Symbolist literature, with that same sense of timelessness. It's peculiar, wildly imaginative, unafraid to transgress and get lost, and is unlike anything I've ever read. (Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach Trilogy) Darkly imaginative. . . . Packed with striking images . . . real beauty and power. (Kirkus) One of the most original works of visionary fiction since Mervyn Peake. (Michael Moorcock The Guardian) This is fine stuff. Like the best fantasy writers Catling succeeds in creating a compelling and believable parallel dimension. (Daily Mail) 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. (Stuart Kelly TLS) 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) 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 The Guardian)
