La ville de New Crobuzon s’étend au centre d’un monde étrange, partagé par humains et mutants et monstres, et où une milice brutale maintient un ordre en équilibre précaire. Un scientifique accepte une demande folle, et une terreur alien est lâchée surr la ville.

Entre body-horror, thriller et pur délire SF, ce livre a été une vraie joie à lire. Rythmé mais sachant prendre le temps de la discussion, plein d’actions mais aussi d’introspection, j’ai juste adoré le délire présenté - la multitude d’espèces présentée, le lore et worldbuilding qui dicte les règles du monde, les idées développées … Du pur weird, mais que c’est bon ! Sans doute un de mes plus gros coups de coeur de l’année.
