Brian Catling’s standalone novels continue the surrealist, genre-blending approach of his Vorrh Trilogy in shorter, self-contained works. Each book occupies its own distinct world while sharing Catling’s signature dense prose and unsettling atmosphere.
Earwig (2019) follows a man tasked with caring for a peculiar girl in a Liege apartment. Munky (2020) has been described as a cross between M.R. James and P.G. Wodehouse, a bizarre ghost story that blends horror with farce. Hollow (2021) sends seven mercenaries on a mission during the sixteenth-century Wars of Religion, blending historical violence with phantasmagoria. All three were published in the final years of Catling’s life.
