The prisoner demands that Malcolm perform a gory, bewildering task for him. As the clock ticks toward Dushas release, Malcolm must attempt to find out whether hes assisting a murderer or an innocent. The End of the Sentence combines Kalapuya, Welsh, Scottish, and Norse mythology, with a dark imagined history of the hidden corners of the American West. Maria Dahvana Headley and Kat Howard have forged a fairytale of ghosts and guilt, literary horror blended with the visuals of Jean Cocteau, failed executions, shapeshifting goblins, and magical blacksmithery. In Chuchonnyhoof, theyve created a new kind of Beast, longing, centuries later, for Beauty.
