pickGay dystopian fiction. Frantic, almost delirious prose. Characters that are all insane. A man who only goes by the name of Cavalo. A mute cannibal. A loyal dog. A robot succumbing to insanity. The bees inside Cavalo's head invent voices for his canine companion and the aphonic cannibal. Ghosts haunt his mind. What's real? The scrape of a knife and a kiss. Despite every attempt he makes, Cavalo can not ignore his feelings for the cannibal for long.
pickIf you only read one dystopian novel this year, make sure it's this one!
A tale intertwined with bees the semblance of insanity, monsters that haunt the mind as well as the woods, the unreality of a raging storm inside a snowglode and the reality of the brush of a knife, the brush of a kiss. A prose that's wickedly beautiful - as wicked and beautiful as the demonic yet equally angelic, smile of a cannibal.
Friendship, loyalty, and love. Exquisite.
The leaves they were crisped and sere
The leaves they were withered and sere
It was night, in the lonesome october
Of my most immemorial year
~ Edgar Allan Poe (Withered and Sere by TJ Klune) Xx
Honestly, this is one of the BEST books I've EVER had the pleasure of reading ♡
