Hiron Ennes
À propos de cet audio
A surreal and horrifying debut, Hiron Ennes's Leech defies our understanding of identity, heredity, and bodily autonomy.
“A wonderful new entry to Gothic science fiction, impeccably clever and atmospheric. Think Wuthering Heights... with worms!”—Tamsyn Muir
MEET THE CURE FOR THE HUMAN DISEASE
In an isolated chateau, as far north as north goes, the baron’s doctor has died. The doctor’s replacement has a mystery to solve: discovering how the Institute lost track of one of its many bodies.
For hundreds of years the Interprovincial Medical Institute has grown by taking root in young minds and shaping them into doctors, replacing every human practitioner of medicine. The Institute is here to help humanity, to cure and to cut, to cradle and protect the species from the apocalyptic horrors their ancestors unleashed.
In the frozen north, the Institute's body will discover a competitor for its rung at the top of the evolutionary ladder. A parasite is spreading through the baron's castle, already a dark pit of secrets, lies, violence, and fear. The two will make war on the battlefield of the body. Whichever wins, humanity will lose again.

Histoire
Mary is a quiet middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying mutilated specters that come with increasing regularity.

Histoire
Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago's lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family's decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses—though curbed by his biological and chosen family's communal care—threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life.

Histoire
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Surrounded by barren trees in a snow-covered wilderness with a dim, dusky sky forever overhead, Siberia’s Kolyma Highway is 1200 miles of gravel packed permafrost within driving distance of the Arctic Circle. A narrow path where drivers face such challenging conditions as icy surfaces, limited visibility, and an average temperature of 60 degrees below zero, fatal car accidents are common.

One of the best audio performances I've ever heard
The story itself is absolutely excellent, but what really steals the show is Abigail Thorn's narration. I've heard hundreds of audiobooks and this might be my most favorite performance I've ever heard.

Absolutely amazing
What a hauntingly beautiful story about cycles of abuse, generational trauma and gender. Ennes whisks us off into their strange world with no time for us to catch our breath. Thorn’s narration is the best I’ve heard in a very very long time, perfectly capturing two internal personalities at war. I would give it 6 out of five stars if I could.

Suspenseful, menacing, slow burn gothic horror
Leech is a finely crafted gem of a suspenseful, menacing, slow burn gothic horror/scifi/fantasy novel, starring all of your favourite gothic tropes: Creepy manor house full of horrible aristocrats! Inclement weather! Mysterious sickness! Spooky twins! Ghosts! A tangled web of dark secrets!
But now also starring: Hive minds, body horror, worker uprisings, settle-colonialism and genocide, queer and trans characters.
Leech is honestly brilliant. I kept expecting it to end suddenly with everyone dying tragically and horrifically, but then I'd check and realize I still had a massive amount of book left to read and no idea where Ennes was going to go next.
Audiobook features the voice of the inimitable Abigail Thorn, which is an absolute treat.

Well, that's a lot of unconsensual penetration at every level
Performance was very soft-spoken and thick foreign accent in spots and hard to listen to at my normal 1.5X let alone 2x speed.
Prose was lovely and top of the line literature. Some of the imagery was brilliant!
I didn't mind the narrative hopping at all.
Science fiction World building was very understated yet very smart. But I don't really buy some of the supernatural things in this particular world.
But I guess overall this really isn't my genre. I don't like this many reprehensible characters in a story.

It's sooo weird.
Everything about it is grim and melancholy, but the characters are cartoonish and fun, even though their actions aren't. The book is hard to follow, and things aren't explained. After 3 hours, I realized the book was set in the post apocalypse and not the 1800s. The narrator is good but not in the way a narrator is usually good. They take liberty with how lines are spoken and the volume can get too loud or too quiet sometimes. The book feels like 3 different stories about the same place and characters all happening at the same time, but it kind of works.
Overall, it is a strange and fascinating read.
