Faunas

In an era where nature has been completely cataloged, colonized, or eradicated, we can still discover a few unsuspected spaces on the edge of civilization: paths erased by snow, evil villages. We must stay on the lookout to flush them out. Or simply follow Laura on the roads leading to the misty city of Shivering Heights, towards the floating hamlet in the middle of a lake infested with underwater dangers. In these fleeting places, where stories are woven like constellations, this biologist embraces the brilliance of nature and the secrets of science with the strength of a conqueror and the innocence of a volunteer promised to sacrifice. A stubborn scientist and a worried lover, Laura leads a fight for survival, unaware that the fog blurs the lines between humans and monsters, that the water carries threats that swell with the rain. There will be no life without devouring. A feverish, seductive and unpredictable first work, Faunes draws up a fascinating inventory of human specimens tossed about by primal instincts.
