Recommended read  The Bog Wife by Kay Chronister: Since time immemorial, the Haddesley family has tended the cranberry bog. In exchange, the bog sustains them. The staunch seasons of their lives are governed by a strict covenant that is renewed each generation with the ritual sacrifice of their patriarch, and in return, the bog produces a “bog-wife.” Brought to life from vegetation, this woman is meant to carry on the family line. But when the bog fails--or refuses--to honor the bargain, the Haddesleys face an unknown future. Why Molly recommends it: Equal parts Mexican Gothic and The Yellow Wallpaper, this latest offering from Chronister is also my new favourite eco-horror. This story's gnawing anxiety and slow, creeping dread is somehow told in a brisk manner. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2025-03-27 13:41:36 Post date GMT: 2025-03-27 17:41:36 Post modified date: 2025-03-27 13:41:38 Post modified date GMT: 2025-03-27 17:41:38 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
