London, 1897. A dying dockworker. A stone that weeps brine. A song from the bottom of the sea. When antiquarian Silas Vance summons Dr. Alistair Thorne to his Blackfriars bookshop, what waits in the cellar defies every law of medicine Thorne has ever known. A man pulled from the Thames is bleeding seawater. A fist-sized black stone, cold to the touch and impossibly wet, sits in the corner and refuses to stop weeping. The stone is a key. Something ancient is waiting for it to come home. What follows takes a sceptical physician and a haunted scholar across Victorian London, into the flooded crypts of Paris, through the palazzos of Venice, and north — always north — toward a frozen sea where a ghost ship waits and a century-old cult prepares to open a door that should never be opened. The Geometry of Hunger is a novel of cosmic horror and hard-won compassion: two mismatched men carrying impossible weight across a continent, racing toward a reckoning at the edge of the world. For readers of Susanna Clarke, Paul Tremblay, and the best of the Victorian gothic tradition. The darkness is not what they expected. Neither is what lies within it.
