Leech by Hiron Ennes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a somewhat surprising read. I got into it with remarkably little knowledge about it—indeed, just that it was regarded as a new and interesting horror.

Indeed, after starting it, I think I rather fell in love with it. An intelligent parasite living and working as a gothic doctor tickled all my mystery/sawbones funnybones.

For more than half the novel, it read like a medical mystery AND a professional rivalry tale—and a very strange one.

Of course, it got serious, and then it got delightfully SF, letting us in on a few really interesting tidbits that made me re-evaluate everything.

Truly, not a bad little novel. I dug it.

The flavour was quite hearty, even if I couldn’t get through more than the first course with the Baron, like anyone else. ;)


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
