Quarantine Station for Suspect Animals

An unidentified animal — known only by the legal designation Unattended Productive Animal — wanders the streets of a decaying city-state at night until it loses its way home. It is seized and sealed inside the Quarantine Station for Suspect Animals. The institution claims to rehabilitate the peculiar and the contaminated. In truth, it is a chamber of confession and decay. Each night, another creature rises to speak. Their voices spill stories of mutilation, hunger, punishment, and survival in a world where humanity no longer rules Creation but infects it. Behind barred doors and clinical slogans, the Quarantine Station nurtures a forbidden hope — not of cure, but of regression. A return to the beast.

Niketas Siniossoglou was born in Athens and studied philosophy in Athens, Munich, and at the University of Cambridge, where he completed his doctoral research. He is the author of two English-language monographs published by Cambridge University Press: Plato and Theodoret (2008) and Radical Platonism in Byzantium (2011). In Greek, he has published a series of books that explore the porous boundary between essay and literary prose: Αλλόκοτος Ελληνισμός (2016), Μαύρες Διαθήκες (2018), Λεωφόρος ΝΑΤΟ (2019), and Ο καρπός της ασθενείας μου (2021).
