There’s something beautiful about the death row inmate who imagines golden horses running through the prison beneath him and magical birds looming just outside. The main character in Rene Denfeld’s The Enchanted is a murderer… but also a poet. As he waits out his final days of life in a jail cell, t...
This is a difficult book to review. I can barely explain what it’s about let alone tell you why I love it. The Enchanted is narrated by an omniscient death-row inmate. He’s an unusual guy.

While it took me a bit to get into the book, I did manage to ...
Honestly the only thing I enjoyed about this novel was the cover. I wish I could say I was being hyperbolic. The author failed to write a profound, meaningful novel that she seemingly so desperately wished to create. Instead it was a dull tale about a hallucinatory killer. It was also a fiction with...
