A horrifying masterpiece of science fiction.

The Sound of His Horn is a classic novel of the uncanny. Alan Querdilion becomes a prisoner of war during World War II and then awakes, only to find himself in an alternative future in which the Nazis have won the war. Against a sylvan backdrop, the legend of the wild huntsman is revived and genetic experiments have created strange hybrids. Humans are hunted for game, haunted by the sound of the huntsman's horn.

British diplomat John William Wall wrote this short novel as Sarban. It had a cult following until Peter Nicholls and Thomas Disch began championing it and it started making 100 best Horror and Fantasy lists.
The book is fast & dark--stylistically/thematically a blend of Connell's Most Dangerous Game, Dick's The Man in the High Castle, and Well's Island of Dr. Moreau.
The Nazi's won the war and 100 years later genetically manipulate humans for slave work and hunt dissidents for sport.

A cult classic.
