The Hood is the second book in Lavie Tidhar's ambitious Anti-Matter
of Britain Quartet - a viscerally entertaining, ominously
subversive and poetically profane remixing of the myths and legends
that shaped our nation. God bless you, England, on this glorious
Year of Our Lord, 1145. Don't cross the Templars. Everybody knows
that. But Will Scarlet, back from the crusades, hopped up on khat
and cider, did. Stabbed thrice in the belly but somehow still
alive, he's heading home to Nottingham. And things are not right in
Nottingham. It's 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... The Hood is Lavie
Tidhar's 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. '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
