The Giant's House: A Romance

I'm a fan of what I like to call weird fiction. Chuck Palahniuk is a master of this genre, writing stories that leave you wide eyed and possibly a little confused. Elizabeth McCracken does this with the novel The Giant's House. It is a romance, but not a romance novel. It is about falling in love with a child, but not in a way that seems pedophilish and instead comes across as intellectual and distant.

The Giant's House is brilliant, well written and interesting.
