A review by nigellicus
The Fever of the World by Phil Rickman

dark emotional mysterious tense

5.0

Merrily versus Wordsworth and druids and covid and DEATH BY MISADVENTURE? 

Though I've skipped a big chunk, this series really charts the spiritual and social decline of the British countryside through creeping gentrification, intensive agriculture, poverty, greed, corruption and general malaise. Hard to see a forthcoming entry that doesn't have the Wye choking in sewage. Grim.
