Dark, gruesome, gripping.
I could not read more than a couple of (short) chapters at a time, but I had to get to the end.
Fairytales are scary and I doubt I could read it again.

#NowRereading The Course of the Heart by #MJohnHarrison (in the new Serpent’s Tail edition published last week).

In the intensity and sapping misdirection of the current heatwave in the north of France, it seems as good a time as any to start to re-read one of my favourites of Mike’s novels. For all I know (and may soon discover) it may be the most auspicious of conditions in which to experience the book’s unsettling story.
