The Serpent of Venice

In "The Serpent of Venice," New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore merges the styles of William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe in a satirical Venetian gothic tale. The story follows the cunning Fool Pocket, his sidekick Drool, and pet monkey Jeff as they navigate a treacherous dinner invitation from three devious Venetians—Antonio, Brabantio, and Iago—who have sinister plans to eliminate Pocket, seeing him as a threat to their ambitions. However, unbeknownst to them, Pocket has his own clever strategies ready to counter their plots.
