A remarkable novel...brilliantly written - Jeff VanderMeer

A remarkable novel...brilliantly written - Jeff VanderMeer

Hegel and Manfried Grossbart, two brothers in medieval Europe, are ugly, cruel, stupid, filthy, heartless, and murderous. But they have a certain moral code of sorts, boundless fortitude, and a blundering sense of adventure, which leads them to encounters with various witches and demons, each more hideous than the last. This debut novel is like the unexpurgated Grimm's fairy tales, as imagined by Chuck Palahniuk. Bullington has a great appreciation for the folklore, and readers will enjoy the evocative writing-if they can stomach the author's appetite for the bizarre. Verdict A zestfully grotesque adventure; not for the squeamish or faint of heart.-Jenne Bergstrom, San Diego Cty. Lib. Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
