The
Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones is Jack
Wolf's début novel, scheduled for early January 2013 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?”
