“Costi Gurgu — the top Romanian science-fiction writer — finally breaks through into the English-language market with RECIPEARIUM, a brilliant, haunting tale. Move over China Miéville — this is the new new weird, a fabulous book with a distinctive, compelling voice.”
— Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of FlashForward
Yet, another praise for my upcoming novel RECIPEARIUM, from the famous and talented author behind The Clan Chronicles series, Julie E. Czerneda:
“Not for the faint of heart or imagination, Gurgu’s RECIPEARIUM reveals an alien realm where sex, politics, and a species’ history are fused into terrible yet vital acts of consumption. Intense and unforgettable.”
— Julie E. Czerneda, author of This Gulf of Time and Stars
“RECIPEARIUM is a startling, even provocative book, yet it’s written in such clear luminous prose and peopled with such sympathetic characters that you’ll be pulled right in. Like the finest cuisine, it will leave you satisfied yet wanting more.”
— Karl Schroeder, author of the VIRGA series
NINA MUNTEANU, author of the Splintered Universe trilogy: “Gurgu delivers a full course meal of epic transcendence in an alien landscape that is at once grotesque and wondrously compelling.
Imaginative. Outrageous. Original.
Gurgu subverts traditional fantasy and SF with the promise of new heights in storytelling.”
