The Serpent of Venice is a unique audiobook experience from bestselling author Christopher Moore, blending the wit of Shakespeare and the dark humor of Edgar Allan Poe. This satiric Venetian gothic tale reintroduces the Pocket of Dog Snogging, the titular hero of Fool, along with his loyal sidekick, Drool, and their pet monkey, Jeff.

Set in historical Venice, the story unfolds as three prominent Venetians—merchant Antonio, senator Montressor Brabantio, and naval officer Iago—plot to eliminate Fool Pocket, who has thwarted their ambitions time and again. Lured to a dark dungeon with promises of a rare Amontillado sherry and Brabantio’s daughter, Portia, they intend to poison him. However, Fool Pocket is anything but naïve, armed with clever tricks and unexpected surprises. This audiobook promises an engaging performance that captures the wit and intrigue of the narrative, making it a delightful listen for fans of comedy and classic literature.
