Synopsis
"We are born and we die.
No one cares, no one remembers,
and it doesn't matter.
This is why we laugh."
There are no such things as gnolls, they never kill and eat people, and they can't read or write -- much less write something so stark, so raw, so beautifully bleak.
Right?
Because if there were, someone might have risked a violent and painful death to find them, study them, and bring back this book.
Then you might read it.
And then you might have a joyous and bloody and terribly strange adventure, and you might find yourself laughing with the gnolls.
And then what?
From a world in which Avatar is Fight Club instead of Disney's Pocahontas, James Tiptree, Jr. wrote The Dice Man, and magic doesn't work any better than it does here...
...we bring you The Gnoll Credo. Sell that 'enchanted' sword and come join the hyena-people. Don't wear your good clothes.

From the Publisher
"An easy and fun read...difficult to put down...a great summer read that will leave you thinking." [...] "Gryka, albeit not your typical protagonist, is beautiful, complex, violent, barbaric, and yet one of the most lovable and admirable characters that I have encountered." [...] "More than just a realistic fantasy tale...a brilliant commentary...This book will make you think, question, think more, and question again."
-Tahoe Mountain News
"Reminded me of one of my favorite novels, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn...A well-written piece of fiction...You'll eventually start wondering if the Gnolls have gotten something right, which makes it a great book."
-Razorcake Magazine
