Synopsis

Faldistoire’s grandfather thinks he’s a ghost. Sylvie’s mother reads tarot and summons stormclouds to mete her witch’s justice. Behind his Dad of the Year demeanour, Sébastien’s father hides dark designs. It’s Croustine’s grandfather
who makes the boy a pair of slippers from the dead family dog, but it’s his father, the cannily-named Kevin Lambert, who always seems to be nearby when tragedy strikes, and in the cemetery, under the baleful eyes of toads, small graves are dug
one after the other: Chicoutimi, Quebec, is a dangerous place for children. But these young victims of rape, arbitrary violence, and senseless murder keep coming back from the dead. They return to school, explore their sexualities, keep
tabs on grown-up sins—and plot their apocalyptic retribution.

Surreal and darkly comic, this debut novel by Kevin Lambert, one of the most celebrated and controversial writers to come out of Quebec in recent memory, takes the adult world to task—and then takes revenge.

Goodreads review by Victoria on April 11, 2021

This book was dark and disturbing. I would be seriously worried about any person who claims this is their favourite book in the same way that everyone becomes concerned about the kid who loves The Catcher in the Rye. I can see where there might have been something poetic in the writing of the French......more

Goodreads review by Andy on August 09, 2022

This is a darkly humorous novel about revenge from beyond the grave. It’s themes, as the title suggests, are love and death, and it is anything but your usual horror story. The genre, more than any other I think, is at its best when it’s boundaries are pushed wider, and this is a good example. Narra......more
