About this audiobook
A genre-warping, time-traveling horror novel-slash-feminist manifesto for fans of Clarice Lispector and Jeanette Winterson.
Welcome to 1990s Norway. White picket fences run in neat rows and Christian conservatism runs deep. But as the Artist considers her work, things start stirring themselves up. In a corner of Oslo a coven of witches begin cooking up some curses. A time-traveling Edvard Munch arrives in town to join a death metal band, closely pursued by the teenaged subject of his painting Puberty, who has murder on her mind. Meanwhile, out deep in the forest, a group of school girls get very lost and things get very strange. And awful things happen in aspic.

Didn’t hate, but couldn’t relate. Too psychedelic for my preference.
I think 22 year old bohemian me would’ve loved it xD
I’ve also seen it categorized as horror several places, but apart from some viscerally unsettling imagery, there aren’t really any horror elements here. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5

I understand feminine rage but this was a lot to handle. I understand anger as a 90’s kid myself, but I guess I’m not as angry as I thought I was.3 people found this helpful

I have never had less fun in my life. I'm sure there is an audience out there for this book, and I am also sure that I would rather get a cavity filled than eat lunch with those people.1 person found this helpful
