Hiss (Paperback)

Paperback. HISS is not a novel you read. It is a novel you survive. Found coiled beneath a terrarium heat lamp in an abandoned petshop, this manuscript has been called "an extraordinary literarydiscovery" by absolutely no verified authority. What it containsis either the first successful translation of reptilian languagein human history, or the same word, repeated, four hundred times. Scholars are divided. Snakes remain unbothered. Told through the voice of Sy Vipers - certified herpetologicallinguist, visiting scholar in reptile semiotics, a man who nolonger trusts birds - HISS is a satirical novel for anyone whohas ever stared at their pet and wondered what it's actuallythinking. Spoiler: it's thinking "Hiss." A perfect gift for reptile owners, literature students who needa laugh, and anyone who has ever finished a "serious" novel andthought: this could have been shorter. 128 pages. Zero plot. Complete confidence. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
