JoeyGunz Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 My mother gave me the nod on this one, 'elmet or helmet is a term me and my friends fondly refer to as but it turns out the book looks a great read so I bagged it, just waiting for a chance to get started now. Fresh and distinctive writing from an exciting new voice in fiction, Elmet is an unforgettable novel about family, as well as a beautiful meditation on landscape. Daniel is heading north. He is looking for someone. The simplicity of his early life with Daddy and Cathy has turned sour and fearful. They lived apart in the house that Daddy built for them with his bare hands. They foraged and hunted. When they were younger, Daniel and Cathy had gone to school. But they were not like the other children then, and they were even less like them now. Sometimes Daddy disappeared, and would return with a rage in his eyes. But when he was at home he was at peace. He told them that the little copse in Elmet was theirs alone. But that wasn't true. Local men, greedy and watchful, began to circle like vultures. All the while, the terrible violence in Daddy grew. Atmospheric and unsettling, Elmet is a lyrical commentary on contemporary society and one family's precarious place in it, as well as an exploration of how deep the bond between father and child can go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feral Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Enjoying a Warped Guardian of the Farm with this new book. There's an old picture of Doug and Louie C.K. and Louie is not the one that's about to pull his genitals out. I'm amazed at the accidental genius timing of the publication of this book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid and hallucinatory supernatural horror. Like if Vonnegut wrote Lovecraft stories. It's definitely a love it or hate it deal though.
