My favorite read in 2024 I'd heard good things about this book going in, so wondered if it could live up to the hype but, within a short few pages, I was so totally sucked into the story that those fears were swiftly dispelled. It's a difficult read in places, eye opening for someone from the UK who doesn't understand the context of the Jim Crow United States as well as someone who lives there.

AUSTRIA. 1686. Two plagues rage in the countryside. One plague is smallpox, a torturous disease that ravages the body, turning homes into tombs. The other ailment is more mysterious, a scourge of occult origin, a plague that ravages the mind and consumes the soul. Here the deepest horrors are made manifest. Here the dead walk the shadowed wood. Here a spirit and its brood of changelings emerge from the earth to feed. Into this malefic maelstrom enters Dorin Toth, famed occultist and investigator.
