2nd Novel: Eradication: A Fable by Jonathan Miles

Called an "instant classic" by the Washington Post, Miles transports readers to a remote, windswept island where a high-stakes ecological experiment is spiraling into a blackly comic nightmare. The mission: to eliminate an invasive species of goats that threatens the local ecosystem. But as the isolation sets in and the moral lines blur, the human inhabitants find themselves caught in a "fist-gnawing comedy of errors" that questions the very ethics of playing God.

Described by critics as "basically, Hamlet but with goats," this slim yet virtuosic novel is a masterclass in tone, pivoting effortlessly from bumbling absurdity to profound moral terror. It is a biting, witty, and deeply philosophical fable about the precariousness of our world and the ghosts of the choices we make.
