I put a spell on you

de John Burnside

Beginning with memories of a brutal murder, this book follows the author through a series of uncanny encounters with 'lost girls', with brilliant digressions on murder ballads, voodoo, acid and insomnia, and a cast that includes Kafka and Narcissus, Diane Arbus and Mel Lyman, and The Four Tops and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
