Summary
Seasons come and go in provincial Blaashoek, where the town's superficial harmony is upended by the arrival of a wind farm-a blessing for some, a curse for others. The irritating hum of the turbines keeps butcher Herman Bracke, known far and wide for his delicious 'summer pâté,' awake at night. He falls prey to a deadly fatigue and gradually loses control over his work, setting off a series of bloodcurdling events with fatal consequences for the townspeople. Dehouck's characteristic black humor and concise, punchy prose make for a refreshing take on the modern thriller
