Podziemia Veniss by Jeff VanderMeer

Set in a dystopian future, the narrative unfolds in a sprawling, decaying city where biotechnology and artifice intertwine to create a hauntingly surreal landscape. The story follows three intertwined characters: Nicholas, a failed artist seeking redemption; his sister Nicola, who embarks on a perilous journey to find him; and Shadrach, a former lover entangled in the city's dark underbelly. As they navigate the treacherous world of genetic manipulation and bizarre creatures, they confront their own fears and desires, ultimately uncovering the sinister forces that govern their existence. The tale is a vivid exploration of identity, transformation, and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrosity.
