What the Fluff (whatthefluff) | 0 comments This book was written between 2012 and 2017. The way it was written is very interesting- the narrator writes in old English with that unusual spelling. I think it might have to do with the male narrator going on a sort of quest.
It was written by a man. I think the cover might had some sort of medieval drawing, but I’m not completely sure.
Thank you in advance for any information! It’s driving me crazy.

Mai | 1280 comments Maybe The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth? Hardcover was published in 2014.

"Written in what the author describes as "a shadow tongue"-a version of Old English updated so as to be understandable to a modern audience"
