Nat Jacobs finds herself alone and far from home in a mirror world, where she is herself . . .and not. She can remember being nightmarishly wrenched away from her child, unbearable pain, and then nothing. Traumatized and visibly scarred, dismissed as hysterical, irrational even—she finds others like her in a support group, all living lives of those wounded in terrible accidents that they can’t remember, taken from those they love with no explanation. And no hope of return. Or is there? When an apparent saviour appears, claiming to have a remedy, some jump at the chance. But what if the cure is worse than the disease? Existential horror, mind-bending metaphysics and philosophical inquiry collide violently in a mushroom cloud of gorgeous prose and brilliantly realised characters. Breukelaar's cosmic reach is at once sprawling and compassionate, asking vital questions about the nature of choice, trauma, identity, and love. A sleek and deeply honest piece of fiction, Remedy is a rare marvel. —Laura Mauro, author of Sing Your Sadness Deep In her usual sumptuous prose, J.S. Breukelaar transports us to new realms with Remedy, a dark study of the duality of self in the aftermath of trauma and heartbreak. With echoes of Susanna Clarke's Piranesi, Remedy is both complex and satisfying. A new classic. —Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories Brilliant and shocking as a flash of lightning, as unexpected as a giant claw from the sky tearing you from your life. J.S. Breukelaar's Remedy is a hymn to grief and hope, skillfully written and achingly beautiful. —Angela Slatter, award-winning author of The Briar Book of the Dead PS Publishing Remedy. ABISBOOK.
