Dr Blessing’s Curse or The Baby in the Bell-Jar ( Dr Blessing book 1)
By Jack Rollins
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From a monster, a miracle?
After a dinner party, Doctor George Blessing reveals to his friend a secret that he has carried for three years. His most horrific case to date has left him so tormented that his marriage, his practice and his very sanity are at stake. But will his friend understand? Can he even help? Can anyone break the Doctor's curse?
Brilliant first instalment of a short story! Was totally dragged in and loved it. Very dark and definitely something I love.

It’s a story about transitions of gender, family and home. It looks at language, how it can be manipulated and made into something new and different (Gretel and her mother have their own words for some things).
‘Leaving’ is another theme: Margot leaves her family, Gretel is left by her mother, and in a way, Margot leaves herself behind when she becomes Marcus. Everything Under is also a book that reworks the Oedipus legend, as well as using elements of Hansel and Gretel (beyond just the use of the name!), and a made up legend called the Bonak (which is actually a Tagalog word for a stupid child or a ‘dumb kid’) - a monster that destroys, stays and disrupts.
There’s a dreamlike quality to this novel, which really added to the fairytale element - the really menacing versions.
I loved this book.
