The Fiddler in the Night

Christian Fennell's The Fiddler in the Night is a return by the author to the raw, abstract, and visceral landscapes set forth in his critically acclaimed collection of short stories, Torrents of Our Time.

In his debut novel, Fennell takes the listeners on an orphaned teen's journey through the darker recesses of rural America—horrifying, yet compelling—where he tries to stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer. A tragic love story unfolding against a background that is both real and imagined, making this novel as memorable for its language as for its nonstop and blistering storyline.

A little Lewis Carroll and a little C.S. Lewis.

I really enjoyed this book.This being a first publish by a new author I thought I would give it a try. It was not what I expected. The characters were thought provoking and some very twisted. The narrator has such a nice even tone to his voice. My one critique is I wish the author would have had some kind of break when there was a character point of view switch. Especially early on I got confused as to who was speaking. Over all I look for to reading more from the author and narrator.
