Waiting on Wednesday: Mordew by Alex Pheby

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme originally hosted on Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. This is a great way to share upcoming releases you’re excited about!

This is such a strange sounding book that I’ve gone back and re-read the synopsis like four times. Mordew seems like it’s going to be a bizarre story akin to Andrew Caldecott’s Rotherweird books (also the cover art is a bit similar). This is actually (as far as I can tell) already out in the UK, but is being published by Tor Books in the US in September 2021. I’m here for the strangeness! 

*Since it won a literary award it seems to have attracted a large number of non-fantasy readers who didn’t seem to like it much on Goodreads. What exactly were they expecting?
