About the Book
The Hyena is a surrealist alt-historical fiction novel by Emmy Award winner David Quantick, with cover art by Ernie Chiara.
The Hyena is a picaresque, an adventure, and a tale of the most famous artist you've never heard of!
The Hyena is the story of Deborah Parkinson, the greatest artist you never heard of. Artist, lover, mother, friend–but never muse–Deborah is a woman whose story spans cities and continents, legends and geniuses.
From Paris to New York and from Kahlo to Dali, this is the story of a woman who didn’t fit in… and liked it that way.
Praise for The Hyena
Here is a selection of review blurbs for The Hyena by David Quantick:
“A breathless, engrossing and often very funny art-world picaresque that takes so many unpredictable turns – the last few being the most surprising of all.”
— Eddie Robson, author of Painting With A Dead God’s Blood
“I couldn’t put this book down. The Hyena has an urgency to its telling, taking hold of you and carrying you along with it. There’s a constant, tantalising sense of almost, as Deborah Parkinson finds herself drawn into the orbit of various glittering, bohemian figures from art history. Her story is one with a twist in its tail that is both unexpected and entirely earned.”
— Anne Corlett, author of The Theatre of Glass and Shadows and Witchwater
“A great novel about English surrealism by a great English surrealist. A heartfelt tale told at breakneck speed, deeply funny, deeply moving.”
— Jake Arnott, author of Netherwood
“THE HYENA is a mind-bending alt-version of our world on the other side of a thin veil! Mysterious, twisty, and utterly fascinating! This one will take your brain on a long, strange trip!”
— Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Red Empire and Ghosts of the Void
