The Hood is the second book in Lavie Tidhars ambitious Anti-Matter of Britain Quartet - a viscerally entertaining, ominously subversive and poetically profane remixing of the myths and legends that shaped our nation. \r\n\r\nGod bless you, England, on this glorious Year of Our Lord, 1145.\r\n\r\nDont cross the Templars. Everybody knows that. But Will Scarlett, back from the crusades, hopped up on khat and cider, did. Stabbed thrice in the belly but somehow still alive, hes heading home to Nottingham.\r\n\r\nAnd things are not right in Nottingham.\r\n\r\nIts the wood, you see. Sherwood. Ice-age ancient, impenetrable, hiding a dark and secret heart. As the ancient sages say, If you go into the woods today, you may not come out tomorrow, and the person who comes out may not be you...\r\n\r\nThe Hood is Lavie Tidhars narcotic remix of an ancient English myth, a tale knotted from legends lost to time, shredded and restitched for each passing century. A tale for today.\r\n\r\nA wild, inventive tapestry of myth and magic, with a wry sense of humor. Tidhars writing is wonderfully vibrant Silvia Moreno-Garcia, bestselling author of Mexican Gothic
