Vellum: The Book of All Hours: 1 - Softcover

"In Vellum-a monstrously brilliant and often hilarious novel of mad Irishmen, bad angels, femmes fatales, and demons-we are presented with the tale of a war occurring throughout the breadth and depth of time and space. Hal Duncan has, at the very least, created the Guernica of science fiction."
-Lucius Shepard, author of A Handbook of American Prayer

"A mind-blowing read that's genuinely unlike anything you've ever read before . . . Vellum has expanded fantasy's limits like nothing published in years."
-SFX (five-star "must-read" review)

"Duncan's writing is fluent and powerful. He possesses an imagination capable of both conjuring worlds and capturing the intricacies of moments. Vellum is more than a novel; it's a vision."
-Jeffrey Ford, author of The Girl in the Glass

"A remarkably ambitious debut novel. For lovers of innovative fantasy, it's a must-read."
-Interzone

"Vellum is a revelation-the opening gambit in the career of a mind-blowing colossal talent whose impact will be felt for decades."
-Jeff VanderMeer, author of City of Saints and Madmen

In 2017, as the end days approach, beings that were once human gather to fight to control the Vellum, but to the Irish angel Phreedom, it has become clear that there is no divine or diabolic plan at work, only a vicious battle between the hawks of Heaven and Hell, with humanity stuck in the middle.
