Description
Killing The Horses is set against the backdrop of a single day in Bradford, where the boundaries between nature and human experience are blurred. Two teenage boys, struggling to express themselves, find solace in violent interactions with the natural world.
As they navigate their emotions through acts of savagery, the landscape around them becomes increasingly entwined with their own dark memories. This novella weaves together elements of realism and mythology, recalling the raw intensity of Wuthering Heights and the poetic darkness of Ted Hughes' work.
The result is a haunting tale that explores the complexities of human nature, set against the rugged landscape of northern England. With its unique blend of realism and myth, Killing The Horses is a powerful exploration of the human condition.
