New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore channels William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe in The Serpent of Venice, a satiric Venetian gothic that brings back the Pocket of Dog Snogging, the eponymous hero of Fool, along with his sidekick, Drool, and pet monkey, Jeff. Venice, a long time ago.
Set adrift by his pirate crew, Pocket of Dog Snogging washes up on the shores of Greece, aiming to impress the Duke with his comedic talents and become his trusted fool. However, the island is in chaos as Egeus, the Duke's minister, is enraged that his daughter Hermia wishes to marry Demetrius instead of Lysander, the man he has chosen for her. The Duke decrees that if Hermia refuses to marry Lysander by the wedding date, she will face execution or be sent to a nunnery. Pocket, true to his nature, boldly criticizes the decree and the Duke, which leads to a death sentence for him. With guards on his tail, Pocket narrowly escapes and finds himself in the enchanted woods ruled by Oberon, the fairy king, who is in need of a new fool after the murder of his jester, Robin Goodfellow, known as Puck. Oberon offers Pocket a deal: he will lift the death sentence if Pocket uncovers Puck's killer. As Pocket navigates a web of suspects, each with motives for the jester's death, he must utilize his wit and charm to unravel the mystery, save himself, and ensure a happy ending for all involved.
