This was a marvelous and deeply unnerving character study about identity, man vs nature. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something more literary with quiet shades of horror in the background.

Nightmarish and unrelenting. So intensely bleak, man. Ugh I loved this… Will probably need to reread at some point soon because there’s so much to dissect.

It’s been two months since this book was first published and I’m so grateful for the incredible response so far. Some people love it. Some people despise it. That’s showbiz, baby! I’m so excited to continue the series next year and share more of Burnt Sparrow with you…

Found one of my books at a fabulous occult bookstore in London called Treadwell’s. I bought a few books I haven’t yet read by Georges Bataille.
