Valkyrie Loughcrewe 
Puppet’s Banquet [EPUB ebook] 

Married couple Celia and Martin are brutally attacked on their drive through the Irish countryside. The attack leaves Celia with a violent schism in her mind, seemingly existing in two places at once: one the ‚real‘ world, the other a howling maelstrom of abstract monstrosity. 

Of her husband, there is no trace…until weeks later, when Martin is discovered in a hospital for rare and abnormal diseases, his body spliced together with that of an unknown woman.

And they are very pregnant.

PUPPET’S BANQUET is a ‚diseased Gothic‘; a hallucinatory treatise on medical abuse; the systemic disease of colonialism and patriarchy; and the limits of human perception.
