Summary

The first collection by writer Matthew Hughes, and the perfect companion to his acclaimed novel Black Brillion, The Gist Hunter and Other Stories features nine stories taking place in the universe of The Archonate, as well as four non-series stories. The stories of Henghis Hapthorn, Old Earth's "foremost freelance discriminator", combine mystery and science fantasy while simultaneously recalling the arch irony of Gene Wolfe and the sly fancies of Jack Vance.

Inventive and full of drama, marred by the narration

The performance is marred by my, possibly pedantic, response to the narrator’s pronunciation at times and a bit of a plodding and emotionless delivery - Ennui, chitin and the Archangel are mis-pronounced and it grates upon me, e.g. “en-you-ee”?!

Gave up half way through

The stories were interesting but after a few hours I realised I had stopped actively listening and was growing increasingly exasperated with the monotonous narration.
