A butcher kept awake by the irritating hum of a wind turbine, a veterinarian obsessed by flickering shadows, a village driven into ruin.
Seasons come and go in provincial Blaashoek, where the town's superficial harmony is upended by the arrival of a wind farm. The irritating hum of the turbines keeps butcher Herman Bracke awake at night. He falls prey to a deadly fatigue and gradually loses control over his work, setting off a series of blood-curdling events with fatal consequences for the townspeople.
'Dehouck creates a melancholic and wistful atmosphere in a world dominated by dark egocentrism. Uncanny, original and haunting.' — Flanders Literature
'A tragicomic novel about a small community that is increasingly disrupted.' — MPO Books
