Photograph of a book. โThe Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Storyโ by Olga Tokarczuk. The book cover is the cobalt blue of all Fitzcarraldo Edition fiction novels, with the title and authorโs name across the middle in white text. We are also told that Olga Tokarczuk is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Embosses on the bottom of the cover is the emblem of Fitzcarraldo editions, a bell with a central โFโ within a circle.
The book is resting on a table on an LNER train, with a glass of gin and tonic to the side, also there is a miniature of Masons of Yorkshire gin and a Britvic light tonic.
In the background my husband reads April 2025 edition of Monocle magazine.
Another trip to London, weโre to see โThe Unicornโ at the Garrick Theatre tonight. Starting โThe Empusiumโ by Olga Tokarczuk on my train journey, I very much enjoyed โDrive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Deadโ. #fitzcarraldo ๐๐ #booksky #horror #horrorreading
