_______________

Herne the hunter, mischief-maker, spirit of the forest, leader of the wild hunt, hurtles through the centuries pursued by his creator.

A shapeshifter, Herne dons many guises as he slips and ripples through time – at candlelit Twelfth Night revels, at the spectacular burning of the Crystal Palace, at an acid-laced Sixties party. Wherever he goes, transgression, debauch and enchantment always follow in his wake.

But as the forest is increasingly encroached upon by urban sprawl and gentrification, and the world slides into crisis, Herne must find a way to survive – or exact his revenge.
_______________

With its intoxicating, chameleonic voice and boundless imagination, Mischief Acts is British folklore as you’ve never read it before: dangerous, sexy, troubling, daring, savage, an exhilarating race through time and space, weaving together the ancient and the contemporary.

Reseñas de la crítica

Wild and wonderful … a delirious labour of love
Inventive and subversive ... A mesmerising journey down the byways of English folklore
A joyous mad brick of a book
Verbally dextrous, inventive, and hugely entertaining
A dark-dazzling archive of enchantments, pursuit, and desire (ELEY WILLIAMS)
Weaving together prose and poetry, myth and history, the past, present and future, it’s a work of extraordinary ambition, brilliantly realised
Gilbert conjures up an enchanting history of a now near-forgotten woodland. elegizing the myths lost to modernity and the wild spaces swallowed by the city
This is the most adventurous, stylistically magnificent thing I’ve read for years. Nobody does fantasy like Zoe Gilbert (NATASHA PULLEY)
Mischief Acts is a deeply lyrical, century-spanning polyphony of voices; a dazzling new take on an ancient myth, reminding us of the wildness within. I adored it (KERRY ANDREW)
Mischief Acts is brimming with magic - full of wild hunts, river spirits and revelry. The story of Herne, like the forest itself, transforms, entangles and enchants (LUCY WOOD)
Superb. A work of shimmering allure. By turns beguiling and mercurial, Gilbert takes British folklore to new heights (IRENOSEN OKOJIE)
Charming, naughty, epic, adventurous, mystical, beautifully penned, and incredibly good fun to read – do so as soon as you can ... A little bit David Bowie in his chameleonic charisma, with a touch of Jim Morrison, perhaps, the character imagined here can’t help but charm the reader, but it’s Gilbert’s effortless, imaginative prose that is the true delight, for it’s just as stylish and suave as the central protagonist
Such an important novel for our times ... Reconnects us with a centuries-old story of an environment that is bigger than us, older than us and at whose whim we are ultimately dependent on for our survival
An absolutely glorious work
