"A hauntingly beautiful story [that] belongs on the shelf beside Cormac McCarthy and Robin Wall Kimmerer. An absolute gem." -IndieReader
"Alive with ceremony, a strange, violent devotional, a feral retelling of Irish myth where survival requires carrying the dead into the future with prose that feels less like narration and more like someone ranting beside a fire while the world is ending. It reads like ritual." -Independent Book Review
A darkly beautiful elegy and unconventional retelling of the Irish An Bradán Feasa that bends literary horror into a Paleolithic saga between a man and a horse that will delight fans of Stephen Graham Jones, Cormac McCarthy, and Clive Barker, from the award-winning author of the "mastery of mythology" (Independent Book Review) and the Fantasy Book of the Year (Independent Press) The Plain of Pillars.
The Way of Salmon Moon is a Paleolithic literary horror novel of a man named Cairbre, who finds himself at the end of his people with a horse that is more than she seems and a heart rife with stories that are trying to kill him. Hunted by invaders who sup on warm wet flesh, together they cross the Rim of the World and enter a menacing and often dreamlike journey into a land where rivers fight like gods and spirits dance like wolves and violence strikes as suddenly as silence, a land where ceremony is paid for in blood, dreams too.
The Way of Salmon Moon is Irish Mythology's An Bradán Feasa interwoven with Ovid's Metamorphoses in all its chilling brutality and beauty presenting a provoking and lyrical journey through the stars of the Irish sacred wheel of the year. It is a story about the price of love and the fluidity of being, told with bold and primordial prose. A blend of the weird, the crass, the germinal, and the tender, Griffith's tale offers, with uncanny and chilling clarity, the portrait of the Irish cosmic nexus and creation's unsettled faculties, asking what does it mean to migrate, to take too much, for a shape to be made new in form?
