‘Astonishing’ MICHAEL MAGEE
‘A novel to marvel at … ingenious’ SOPHIE MACKINTOSH
‘Wicked and beguiling’ AMY TWIGG
The acclaimed author of The Doloriad returns with a wildly imaginative new novel following a reclusive graduate as her attempts to navigate campus conspiracies set her on a collision course that will upend her life.
In a famed but crumbling university city overrun by vegetation, where power is held in a fragile balance between the academics and a contingent of rogue gardeners, Agathe spends her days listlessly propping up the career of her fraudulent professor boss. One day, a campus scandal erupts: Adam, a contrarian and the pet student of her boss, comes into heated conflict with a rising young professor, with both men claiming discrimination.
As the crisis consumes the university, Agathe’s boss instructs her to gather information by befriending Adam. Agathe soon finds herself both caught up in the events tearing the city apart and increasingly drawn towards the alluring student at the heart of it all. But can anyone be taken at their word in a struggle over the truth?
Coursing with icy suspense and rendered with violent precision, The Vivisectors is a new kind of love story for a broken era. Missouri Williams holds up a mirror to humanity’s most intimate contradictions in a novel of blazing spiritual reckoning.

‘Themes ripped straight from the headlines – cancel culture, plagiarism, university funding – are folded into a mirage-like narrative … the mazy sentences buzz with mounting dread and mordant humour … grips you with an invigorating sense of its sheer difference from anything else out there’ Daily Mail
‘This is the modern rupture – our crisis of meaning and spiritual malaise shaped into a novel unlike any other’ Paul Lynch, author of Prophet Song
‘A novel to marvel at – intricate, utterly precise, unfurling with the same lushness and strange menace of the greenery that creeps over the decaying city of its setting. An original and ingenious work’ Sophie Mackintosh, author of Permanence
‘An astonishing novel by an astonishing writer. Playful, digressive, and pulsating with existential energy … I am in awe’ Michael Magee, author of Close To Home
