Another week where I didn’t get to read anything.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    I’m reading The Wax Child by Olga Ravn for next episode of the podcast. We found out after choosing it that it was longlisted for this years Booker Prize and to be honest, I can see why, it is utterly brilliant and, as athesitic Satanists, right up our street as its a re-telling of a 17th century Danish witch-burning - based, as they all were, on bullshit, lies and the male religious zealots hatred of women. Not a happy story but it is wonderfully written.

    I’m also reading Kit Whitfield’s In The Heart of Hidden Things which is the second in her Gyrford Series - if you like fantasy novels set in a rural, agricultural alternative England in which the Fae are an everyday thing (not tinkerbell type faries, I mean proper morally ambiguous Gaelic/Celtic type faeries) then this series is for you.
