Sinopsis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 QUEEN SOFÍA SPANISH INSTITUTE TRANSLATION PRIZE 
FINALIST FOR THE 2024 BIG OTHER BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATION 
FINALIST FOR THE CERCADOR PRIZE FOR LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION 
WINNER OF A 2023 PEN TRANSLATES AWARDThis punk-like blend of Roberto Bolaño’s The Savage Detectives and Samanta Schweblin’s Fever Dream heralds an exciting new voice in international fiction.
   

  Munir, G, Ernesto, and Álex leave Madrid after graduation for a carefree summer of picking grapes in the south of France. But there's no grape harvest, and they end up in a series of increasingly nightmarish factory-farming gigs, where workers start disappearing. Soon the youngmen find themselves far away from the world of books and ideas, immersed in an existence that is lawless, inhumane and increasingly menacing… 
"Gorgeously labyrinthine." – Molly McGhee, author of Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind 
"Startling, compulsive, and vibrant; Living Things reads like an ignition. The most honest thing I’ve read in a long time about being young and alive in a beautiful, horrible world." – Dizz Tate, author of Brutes 
"Living Things dips blithely in and out of genres and packs more ideas in its lean frame than seems possible. It’s a novel posing as a journal posing as a meditation on the function of the journal that playfully interrogates form and content in art, what it means to write, and what it means to care or not care about anything, or about everything. Munir Hachemi is a magician, and his marvellous book, deftly translated by Julia Sanches, defies adequate description." – James Greer, author of Bad Eminence

    He corners me in an alley. An assassin. A killer of killers. A usurped king. 
     
     
     
    The Moonlight Wraith is hungry to regain his stolen throne, and he claims I have the magic he needs to secure his vengeance. 
     
     
     
    He must have lost his sanity along with his kingdom because the only true ability I possess is wielding my smart mouth at times I shouldn't. So I do what any drunk human trying to survive in a supernatural world might do—I throw up on his shoes. 
     
     
     
    Despite my attempts to refuse the sexy fae, I soon find myself sucked into his war—and lost in his penetrating silver stare. The way he looks at me makes it seem like he wants me for more than just revenge. But how could a powerful fae king fall for a lowly human outcast like me? 
     
     
     
    I'm no queen. 
     
     
     
    And once he figures that out, my heart won't be the only casualty.
