“How are witches born? Ask Catherine Lalonde. With The Faerie Devouring, she takes the fairy tale and reads aloud her mysterious entrails. The tongue expels the tongue, the dead seize the living, and seeing the day is tearing the night apart.” - Claro, Le Monde des livres.
Between the enraged fairy tale and the hallucinated retelling of learning tales, between the forest of Sainte-Amère-de-Laurentie and the great electric city, The Faerie Devouring tells the fate of the little one, Grandma and Blanche absentee. But the story is swallowed up by song, myth, phantasmagoria, and a ferocious and primordial poetry haunts the narrative. A baroque work, The Faerie Devouring is full of spiteful or lyrical spells, in a hungry scansion, drunk to the eyes with desire.
