Taking its name from the imaginary African forest in Raymond Roussel's 'Impressions of Africa', the Vorrh is the magnificent, vibrant stage for a high-octane narrative led by hunter Tsungali, the cyclops Ishmael, and famous photographer Eadweard Muybridge.
B. Catling's novel is invigorating, epic fantasy at its most original and visionary, a stunning departure from the clichés of the traditional fantasy style.
