Bloodless We Go Buried

Irish Mythology blood-splattered by Shakespeare's Hamlet and post-apocalyptic literary horror. "A lyrically sharp, stunningly written, and abstractly horrifying exploration of identity and grief...part horror, part mythology, and wholly original." - Independent Book Review "A summons from the deep past, a long walk through the dark woods where every shadow seems to breathe." - Literary Titan 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 bends Shakespeare's Hamlet into Irish Mythology, following 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. A provoking and lyrically-abstract meditation on grief and hope and the monstrous tides of love, Daniel Firth 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?
