"Bloodletting a Butterfly by Alec B Hood, illustrated by Feather Hazel, is a daring work that is so unlike anything else I have read. It is written entirely in theatrical, almost stage-scripted dialogue in language that pulses with originality, carrying us into scenes that shift between the surreal and the startlingly concrete. It's incredible how poetically Hood pits us against encounters with insects embedded within, blood transformed into living things, and surreal rituals involving leeches, tarantulas, and tarot cards. Each moment is rendered with dark imagination. Hazel’s gorgeous hand-sketched charcoal illustrations heighten this experience, anchoring the words in artwork that feels raw and unforgettable. Together, text and image create a book that feels alive, offering an experience that is entirely singular and impossible to forget."
