God bless you, England, on this glorious Year of Our Lord, 1145.
Things are definitely not right in Nottingham. Rebecca, daughter of a Jewish money-lender, has a sense for it.
A mad monk schemes to resurrect the Christ from body parts. A bone harpist murders creatures of legend for a price. A fae creature binds its wings and embraces a new God and his son.
And don't even mention the Hood. The Man in Green. The Prince of Thieves. The tick-tock taker of the ten-toll tax.
What hope have the series of sheriffs sent to hold the peace?
It's the forest, you see. Sherwood. Ice Age ancient, impenetrable, hiding a dark and secret heart. But hearts, no matter how black, no matter how hidden, are not immune to change. The old world is dying... and a terrifying new one is waiting to take its place.
Rebecca senses an opportunity. But how far is she willing to go, and what price – because there is always a price – will she have to pay?
The Hood is Lavie Tidhar's narcotic reweirding of an ancient English myth, a tale stitched together from legends lost to time, a tale told and retold, reworked and renewed for each passing century. A tale, reader, for today.
'A wild, inventive tapestry of myth and magic, with a wry sense of humor. Tidhar's writing is wonderfully vibrant' Silvia Moreno-Garcia, bestselling author of Mexican Gothic

Автор жөнүндө
Lavie Tidhar's novels include World Fantasy Award winner Osama, Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize winner A Man Lies Dreaming (both recently reissued by Head of Zeus) and Campbell, Neukom and Chinese Nebula winner Central Station. His latest novel By Force Alone, the first in his Anti-Matter of Britain Quartet, is published by Head of Zeus. Described as 'An utterly original voice in contemporary fiction' and 'a genius of conjuring realities that are just two steps to the left of our own', Tidhar works across genres. His novels combine detective and thriller modes with poetry, science fiction and historical and autobiographical material to create a genre entirely of his own.
