Found coiled beneath a terrarium heat lamp in an abandoned pet
shop, this manuscript has been called "an extraordinary literary
discovery" by absolutely no verified authority. What it contains
is either the first successful translation of reptilian language
in human history, or the same word, repeated, four hundred times.
Scholars are divided. Snakes remain unbothered.
Told through the voice of Sy Vipers — certified herpetological
linguist, visiting scholar in reptile semiotics, a man who no
longer trusts birds — HISS is a satirical novel for anyone who
has ever stared at their pet and wondered what it's actually
thinking.
Spoiler: it's thinking "Hiss."
A perfect gift for reptile owners, literature students who need
a laugh, and anyone who has ever finished a "serious" novel and
thought: this could have been shorter.
128 pages. Zero plot. Complete confidence.
