The Butchers' Blessing by Ruth Gilligan

The Butchers’ Blessing centers on the Butchers, a group of men who spend most of the year traveling from farm to farm in the Irish countryside to perform an ancient method of cattle slaughter. In 1996 — one of the book’s two timelines, along with the present day — the method (and men) are seen as remnants of an ancient folklore that most believe should be left in the past. To photographer Ronan, the Butchers are a sort of muse, and he travels the countryside capturing their world — but when he discovers one of the Butchers gruesomely murdered, it changes the trajectory of his life. It’s gripping, Gothic, and moody, following not only Ronan and the Butchers, but also their families and neighbors. Get your copy. — Arianna Rebolini
