The
Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones is Jack Wolf's début novel, scheduled for January 21013 release (Chatto and Windus £14.99). Keep an eye
out for it…
“The year is 1750. Tristan Hart,
precociously talented student of medicine practising under the legendary Dr William
Hunter. His obsession is the nature of pain and preventing it; the relationship
between mind and matter and the existence of God. A product of the Age of
Enlightenment, he is a rational man on a quest to cut through darkness and
superstition with the brilliant blade of science.
Tristan Hart, madman and deviant. His
obsession is the nature of pain, and causing it. A product of an age of faeries
and goblins, gnomes and shape-shifting gypsies, he is on a quest to arouse the
perfect scream and slay the daemon Raw Head who torments his dark days and long
nights.
Troubled visionary, twisted genius, loving
sadist. What is real and what imagined in Tristan Hart’s brutal, beautiful,
complex world?”
