But a quick, practical trip takes a turn for the worse when the rot and creak of the forest starts to creep in around the edges of Sams mind. It starts, as it always does, with a beer.As Sam dips back into the murky waters of dependency, the inexplicable begins to arrive at her door and her body takes on a strange new shape. As the borders of reality begin to blur, she senses she is battling something sinisterwhether nested in the woods or within herself.Hemlock is a carnal comingofaddiction, a dark sparkler about rapture, desire, transformation, and transcendence in many forms. What lives at the heart of fearanimal, monster, or man? How can we reject our own inheritance, the psychic storm thats been coming for generations, and rebuild a new home for ourselves? In the tradition of Han Kangs The Vegetarian, Hemlock is a butch Black Swan and a novel of singular style, with all the edginess of a survival story and a simmering menace that glints from the very periphery of the page.
