The Books Oracle
by Caitlin Starling
Three women in a medieval castle under siege descend into madness and hunger as mysterious godlike visitors offer salvation at an unspeakable price. Starling crafts a claustrophobic fever dream of religious fervor, starvation, and bodily transformation that blurs the line between miracle and monstrosity. A visceral, haunting exploration of faith, desperation, and what we become when civilization's thin veneer cracks.
