Beschreibung

The Butcher's Wife has an extraordinary secret: amongst the slaughtered animals which are hung each day in the cellar of her house, there are some which still have souls imprisoned inside their carcasses. Deprived of her freedom and identity by an abusive husband, she must draw upon her own resources in her struggle to set the dead things free, and seek her own source of tenderness in the midst of hideous violence.

Front cover picture by Buffarches.
Genre: horror/magical realism.
Contains scenes of strong violence and coarse language.

Über den Autor

Born in England, Giles Watson migrated to Australia at the age of one, grew up in Canberra, and returned to live in Britain for eighteen years. There, he became fascinated with ancient landscapes, writing prolifically in response. In 2013, he returned to Western Australia. He has a long-standing fascination with natural history, medieval texts, folklore and mythology, and has worked as a volunteer in wildlife rehabilitation, specialising in orphaned and injured owls. Giles is the author of the novel that inspired Mimma: A Musical of War and Friendship, a book of essays on the folklore of natural history, A Witch's Natural History (Troy Books), and a large body of poetic work, both self-published and in literary journals. He is the editor of Ten Poems About Butterflies (Candlestick Press), and has written songs with singer-songwriter Simone Keane. He teaches English, literature and drama, and lives in Kinjarling (Albany), WA.
