À propos de ce contenu audio

A visceral dark fantasy novel, Blacktail is the long-awaited second novel from Scott Hawkins, the critically acclaimed author of The Library at Mount Char.


Who does your dog pray to?

Blacktail is a half-breed wolf, born to hunt. When he finds love beyond a garden wall, he dares to imagine a peaceful life – until men butcher his mate and unborn pups in a surgical act of cruelty. His grief ignites a rampage of torn throats and shattered bone, a slaughter so absolute it draws the gaze of an ancient feline witch. She sends him south to wake the sleeping Forest God and end the age of reason.

Fuelled by a rage that frightens Hell itself, Blacktail wages war against men and the beasts who dare defend them. From a gore-soaked wilderness to a burning confrontation with Heaven, Blacktail is a feral odyssey of vengeance.

The Forest God sleeps. But what will be the price of waking him?

Commentaires

Reader, be warned. This is not a gentle book, and those who cannot bear to see an animal hurt should guard their hearts. But persist, and you will be rewarded. Blacktail is as glorious as it is gruesome. (V. E. Schwab, Sunday Times bestselling author of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue)
Wickedly sharp, unflinchingly brutal, and nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Blacktail will consume you (Marcus Kliewer, bestselling author of We Used to Live Here and The Caretaker)
Mesmerizing and strange, like the headiest of folklore. Blacktail is one to savour; one to delight in the eccentricities of; one to sit with long after it ends (Olivie Blake, Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl Dinner and The Atlas Six)
A mad, feral fable – this is beautiful, brutal fantasy, red in tooth and claw. Funny, heartbreaking, violent. All hail Blacktail. Down with the two-legs (Chuck Wendig, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Staircase in the Woods and The Book of Accidents)
A tale of lupine vengeance – at first – whose stakes escalate to degrees I never saw coming. Unexpected, blood-soaked and vividly told (qntm, author of There is No Antimemetics Division)
Scott Hawkins’ BLACKTAIL can be described in so many ways. Strange, beautiful, surreal, brutal, fantastic, fantastical. It evokes Richard Adams at his most bloodthirsty, Tolkien at his most apocalyptic. But, above all, it’s simply transcendent. Transportive. A magnificent, bloody saga that will change the way you look at the world. (Nat Cassidy, bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary)
Blacktail is a journey through a universe simultaneously surreal and familiar, a tale that will leave claw marks on your brain that won't quickly fade. You simply won't read another book like it (Jason Pargin, author of John Dies at the End)
Blacktail is a wild, wholly engrossing ride that puts you in the brain of a wolf hellbent on destroying all of us . . . Hawkins delivers a rich mythology laced with both humor and tragedy that will have you reconsidering your own place in the natural order (Max Doty, author of The House that Eats the Dead)
