Description
Robin Robertson's Grimoire is a collection of Scottish folk tales that weave together stories of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. Drawing from the Celtic tradition, these tales explore themes of violence, madness, and retribution, as well as second sight, witches, ghosts, and supernatural beings. The book is presented as a grimoire, a manual for invoking spirits, and features haunting and elemental prose that captures the beauty and terror of the Scottish landscape. Robertson's narrative gift shines through in this collection, which raises strange new forms to convey the potency of myths and superstitions. With its unique blend of storytelling and poetic imagery, Grimoire is a compelling read that delves into the complexities of human experience and the world around us.
