Two novel mini reviews from my ongoing YBFH #22 reading

The Resurrectionist by Jack O’Connell (Algonquin) is the author’s fifth novel and as his previous ones his lucid prose easily carries the reader into realms of the Gothic and begins with a man taking a job in a very special clinic in the hopes that it can miraculously help his comatose son. A second strand of the story is the adventures of a group of circus freaks on the run from hostility and discrimination.

Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow (Harper) is a werewolf novel told in verse, but don’t let that scare you away. It’s free verse, not rhyming and it’s wonderfully gripping, in part to the compression of language. Go and read it, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.
