This is what horror ought to be: primal, personal, and powerful. -- Seanan McGuire Paul Cornell plumbs the depths of magic and despair in Chalk, a brutal exploration of bullying in Margaret Thatcher's England. Andrew Waggoner has always hung around with his fellow losers at school, desperately hoping each day that the school bullies -- led by Drake -- will pass him by in search of other prey. But one day they force him into the woods, and the bullying escalates into something more; something unforgivable; something unthinkable. Broken, both physically and emotionally, something dies in Waggoner, and something else is born in its place. In the hills of the West Country a chalk horse stands vigil over a site of ancient power, and there Waggoner finds in himself a reflection of rage and vengeance, a power and persona to topple those who would bring him low.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Paul CornellPublisher: TordotcomPublished: 03/21/2017ISBN: 9780765390950Pages: 272Weight: 0.70lbsSize: 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.80d
