The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep
“If you’ve ever checked the back of your wardrobe for snow and lamplight—if you’ve ever longed to visit Pemberley House or 221B Baker Street, to battle the Jabberwock or wander through a fictional London fog—this book belongs to you. It’s a star-studded literary tour and a tangled mystery and a reflection on reading itself; it’s a pure delight.”
—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author
“Many have tried and some have succeeded in writing mashups with famed literary characters, but Parry knocks it out of the park.… Just plain wonderful.”
—Kirkus (starred review)
“Part mystery, all magical, The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep is both amusing and perceptive; the novel entertains as it reminds us of the power of words and how fiction can influence real life.”
—Locus
“H. G. Parry has crafted an imaginative and unique exploration of how words shift our lives in ways big and small. The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep is a rollicking adventure that thrills like Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere mashed up with Penny Dreadful in the best postmodern way. Equal parts sibling rivalry, crackling mystery, and Dickensian battle royale, it’ll be one of your most fun reads this year.”
—Mike Chen, author of Here and Now and Then
