Reviews
"Where can the line between the primal storytelling of fairy tales and horror stories be found? In The Laws of the Skies , which focuses on a camping trip gone horribly wrong, it becomes readily apparent that the border territory between those two types of stories can be its own fertile territory for captivating narratives." -- Vol. 1 Brooklyn , "May 2019 Book Preview", "Courtois' new forest noir of children gone missing in the woods evokes myth, fairytale, and nightmare. The Laws of the Skies begins when a school trip to explore nature leaves a number of students stranded with a murderer, and only gets stranger from there. Also this one wins oddest comparison blurb -- the publisher describes this book as 'Winnie-the-Pooh meets the Blair Witch Project.' In other words, irresistible!" --CrimeReads, "May's Best International Crime Fiction", "The ensuing story has a whiff of allegory: adults abandon their charges, classmates turn against classmates, and nature, quite literally, swallows them up. It's unsettling. Along the way, Courtois raises pointed questions about the environment, the hereditary nature of evil, and the responsibilities of an older generation to the new. I felt absolutely nauseated by the end, and I have to admire that--it's not every day that a book provokes such a strong physical reaction in me." --Rhian Sasseen, The Paris Review Staff Picks, "Unflinching in its savagery, the nightmarish poetry of this modern Lord of the Flies is undeniable... this wicked novel plumbs the darkest reaches of childhood fears and finds plenty to be afraid of." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "Unflinching in its savagery, the nightmarish poetry of this modern Lord of the Flies is undeniable." - Publishers Weekly "The French know how to push horror's boundaries, and Courtois is no exception. In this sliver of a novel, he gradually picks off his cast, mounting tension by juxtaposing horrific action with the children's innocence and an innocuous setting... Courtois' expertly orchestrated decimation melds into a brutal whole that leaves the reader shaken, though its final images will prove unshakable." - Booklist , starred review "Excellent...crystalline." - New York Times , Summer Reads "Where can the line between the primal storytelling of fairy tales and horror stories be found?

Synopsis
Twelve six-year-olds and their three adult chaperones head into the woods on a camping trip. None of them make it out alive. The Laws of the Skies follows the terrified children as they scatter into the night to escape danger, dressed only in their pyjamas. They face their darkest childhood fears and new imaginary threats, like trolls masquerading as boulders and child-eating tree trunks. A harrowing story of those days in the woods, of illness, poisoning, and accidents: of a love triangle among tots: a pint-sized hero: and a child on a murderous rampage that comes to a grisly end. Part fairy tale, part horror story, this macabre fable takes us through the minds of all the members of this doomed part, murderers and murdered alike., Winnie-the-Pooh meets The Blair Witch Project in this very grown-up tale of a camping trip gone horribly awry.
