Erstwhile: The Vorrh (2)
Erstwhile: The Vorrh (2) | Brian Catling
6 posts | 5 read | 25 to read
The Erstwhile brings readers back to the singular world and mind of B. Catling, continuing the groundbreaking storytelling of his hit The Vorrh. In London and Germany, strange beings are reanimating themselves. They are the Erstwhile, the angels that failed to protect the Tree of Knowledge, and their reawakening will have major consequences. In Africa, the colonial town of Essenwald has fallen into disarray because the timber workforce has disappeared into the Vorrh. Now a team of specialists are dispatched to find them. Led by Ishmael, the former cyclops, they enter the forest, but the Vorrh will not give them back so easily. To make matters worse, an ancient guardian of the forest has plans for Ishmael and his crew. Meanwhile a child of mixed race has been found abandoned in a remote cottage. Her origins are unknown, but she has powers beyond her own understanding. Conflict is coming, as the old and new, human and inhuman are set on a collision course. Once again blending the real and the imagined, The Erstwhile brings historical figures such as William Blake and places such as the Bedlam Asylum, as well as ingenious creations such as The Kin (a family of robots) together to create unforgettable novel of births and burials, excavations and disappearances."

Karkar Have you read the Vorrh? I picked it up the other day it sounds good. 7y
speljamr @Karkar Yes, I already had that one. I picked up this one to have both before I start reading. 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled This sounds crazy in the best possible way. Stacked. 7y

Not that it was bad. It just wasn't what I was expecting because I had no idea it was a follow-up to Catling's The Vorrh. I might start this series over from the beginning in the future. #briancatling #theerstwhile #horror? #bailbooks

This has been waiting on my desk since Tuesday and I just can't pull the trigger to buy it. The Vorrh was weird enough I'm curious but it was a Lot

I am so excited about this!!!! It's the sequel to THE VORRH, one of my favorite books of 2015. Did I understand THE VORRH? Not at all! Did I still enjoy it? OH YES. It's bananapants, like if ANNIHILATION was written by Percy Fawcett and Ray Bradbury. ❤️

JanuarieTimewalker13 I have no idea what the heck you're talking about, but I love your enthusiasm!! I felt similarly when I read The Library at Mount Char. I love Litsy bc of this kind of exposure to all different types of literature! 8y
vivastory Vorrh is very high in my TBR. Since I finished Annihilation today and loved it, I will probably read Vorrh this week. I didn't know it was a series. 8y
ashleonore I bought Vorrh forever ago and never got around to reading it even though it sounded amazing. You just moved it up on my TBR, especially knowing there's a sequel on the way!! Yay! Now I'm excited to go read it! 8y
