The Shrike & The Shadows
The Shrike & The Shadows | Chantal Gadoury, A.M. Wright
2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
The village of Krume is plagued by a haunted wood and a hungry witch. Its been that way for as long as Hans and Greta can remember, though they have never seen the witch themselves; no one has. When men start to disappear once again in the cover of night - their bloody hearts turning up on doorsteps - the village falls into frenzied madness. Hans and Greta, two outcast orphans, find themselves facing accusations of witchcraft and are met with an ultimatum: burn at the stake, or leave the village forever. With nowhere else to go, they abandon their only home. As they venture into the strange forest, their path is fraught with horrific creatures, wild and vivid hallucinations, and a mysterious man tied to the witch's past. The Shrike is watching, just beyond the deep darkness of the woods.

The dedication from the tagged book. It's sort of a Hansel and Gretel retelling, trying to climb out of this reading slump. 📚

A grown up Hansel and Gretel, with a dash of Red Riding Hood mixed in. I enjoyed the more adult theme of the book, the Shrike is much scarier with a tree of death than with a house of candy! I also appreciate how evil she is for no real rhyme or reason, just because she can and wants to.
