Description
A "wholly original and lyrically sharp" (Independent Book Review) horror novel that bends Shakespeare's Hamlet into a hell of Irish Mythology, tracing themes of grief, identity, and power in a post-apocalyptic theatre where a crippled father and a little red fox fights monsters at the end of the world...
All books in the Rimwalker Series are stand-alone, companion novels.
"A summons from the deep past, a long walk through the dark woods where every shadow seems to breathe, a bold and emotional, raw and intimate novel, like I had stumbled into a hidden doorway." – Literary Titan
The story follows Lu, a crippled father struggling to keep his dying son safe in the aftermath of the Cataclysm, an apocalyptic event that ended with humanity living in the Dome under the reign of Salience, a unknown power set on keeping the people distracted, separated, and too busy to fight back, to think. Lu moves by dragging himself around the hallways of their home and fields of flowers that line their home under the dying shade of what they call the Star Oak, lost in the grief of a world without memory. When a strange creature visits him in the night and Salience comes for his son, Lu is left to reckon with finding something to live for...
The acclaimed author of the "mastery of mythology" (Independent Book Review) and the Fantasy Book of the Year (Independent Press) The Plain of Pillars returns with a literary horror novel that is a provoking and lyrically-abstract meditation on grief and hope and the monstrous tides of love. Griffith summons from the deep past and the portended future a bold and evocative story with stunning prose and deep emotional rigor. A blend of the weird, the blunt, and the tender, Bloodless We Go Buried offers, with uncanny and chilling clarity, the precise portrait of the Cauldron of our rebirth, asking what does it mean to be reborn when the world is already burning?
Advance Praise
"A blood-water wrenching mad masterpiece of a horror novel." - Dane Scott, Māori author.
"A lyrically sharp, stunningly written, and abstractly horrifying exploration of identity and grief... part horror, part mythology, and wholly original." - Independent Book Review (STARRED)
"A summons from the deep past, Bloodless We Go Buried is a long walk through the dark woods where every shadow seems to breathe, bold and emotional...raw and intimate...like I had stumbled into a hidden doorway, someone's private ritual. The prose leans into its own intensity, [and] carries a poetic rhythm, a strange and ancient pulse. Every time I thought I knew where the story was going it would slide sideways...a weird or tender or blunt dream you carry with you afterward." - Literary Titan
