Belgium, a fairytale is a horrifying and surreal whodunnit that takes place in the future in the last days of Belgium, a sinking land. Three houses in a marshy wood. A girl commits suicide. And Kareltje has disappeared. Has he been murdered? Frank Adam has written a thriller about Belgium: a country as absurd as it is remarkable, where a boy disappears and the girl next door hangs herself. The colonel with psychic powers and the dairy farmer who can read the future in milk investigate both cases. What have the forester’s wife and son seen? And where is the forester? Belgium, a fairytale is a horrifying and surreal whodunnit that takes place in the future in the last days of Belgium, a sinking land.
