Finished The Wilding @ianmcdonald.bsky.social - a fantastic folk horror adventure with brilliant characters, prose to die for(!) and the best use (& love) of Yeats I've encountered for some time. The contradictions inherent in nature v human are judged perfectly π #booksky #lovereading

The Wilding by @ianmcdonald.bsky.social broke me. This is not my usual genre, but I took a punt because everything the man has ever written is deep magic. If you have ever been in the wild, just out of earshot of modern life, just beyond the high-water mark⦠you will know that grip on your heart.
