"A dark and twisty labyrinth of absurdity." -Scott Lynch, New York Times-bestselling author of The Gentleman Bastard Sequence
For crimes against decency and for being an ornery little son of a gun, the young goat man Lipsnitch Snilly is banished from his hometown, thus embarking on a quest to find Ohio and become the world's greatest practitioner of dark magic. His loyal friend Gary, a talking crow, does not harbor any such grand ambitions and mostly just wants to keep Lipsnitch from constantly sabotaging his own future. Whether he can succeed or whether the goat man is simply destined for the gallows remains to be seen.
