"""Woven with the dark and dreamlike intricacy of a medieval tapestry, this novella implicates the reader as an accomplice in its monstrosity. It's exactly the kind of punishment we as readers deserve.""--Hiron Ennes ""Nothing in nature matches the uncannily sweet murdermirth of Premee Mohamed. She will show you yearning in a scrap of cheese or the whole world in the rules of a game. This book is bigger inside than out... by a large margin.""--Meg Elison, winner of the Locus Award ""Hansel and Gretel meet Annihilation in Premee Mohamed's The Butcher of the Forest, a fairytale that shifts into a meditation on war and grief, one that asks questions about who is innocent and who is complicit in oppression. Come for the eldritch monsters; stay, as always, for Mohamed's critiques of power.""--S. Qiouyi Lu ""An enchanting, bite-sized adventure. . . . Readers will be rapt.""--Publishers Weekly"
