Review
“Deft and disturbing. . . In Antonia Lloyd-Jones’s crisp translation, Tokarczuk tells a folk horror story with a deceptively light and knowing tone. . . elegant and genuinely unsettling.”—Hari Kunzru, The New York Times Book Review
“Slippery, interesting, and impish . . . easy to follow, yet difficult to fathom … cannily constructed and uncompromisingly surreal. . . .By jauntily cleaving to Mann’s text while also inverting it, Tokarczuk has created a narrative in which the parable sits like a temperamental bolt of electricity in the historical orbit of the European novel.”—The Nation
“Pulling from folktales, mythology, art, and literature, Tokarczuk’s novel spins a story that feels eerily familiar and yet totally new… Just when you think you have this novel in your sight, it shimmers into something else entirely.” —The Atlantic
“A marvelous reframing of The Magic Mountain … [that] can be enjoyed — and may even be more enjoyable — on its own merits … Lloyd-Jones’s uniformly excellent translation of The Empusium is a much breezier read." —Boston Globe
“Tokarczuk masterfully maps out a new kind of horror story, one that weaves together elements of folklore and feminist allegory.”—Harper’s Bazaar
“In Tokarczuk’s hands, the staid genre of the bildungsroman erupts with sinister possibility…. A grand fantasy of revenge …taut, febrile.”—Washington Post
“A novel that in Tokarczuk’s dexterous hands transcends its own limits, further cementing the Nobel laureate as one of the most original storytellers of our age. Equipped with only our measly five senses, it leaves us questioning — just like her characters — what might be hiding in plain sight.”—Financial Times
“A magnificently haunting portrayal of health, death, and all that comes in between, The Empusium is one of Tokarczuk’s best works to date.” —Chicago Review of Books
"An odd, fascinating book—a blackly serious joke—from an author of great daring and intelligence…. What stands out most is the philosophical conflict it stages between rationality and folk belief. This is the thread that runs through all of Ms. Tokarczuk’s wildly various books.”—Wall Street Journal
“A mischievous fairy tale about transformation, emotion and ambiguity…Tokarczuk keeps the suspense at a low boil throughout, balancing moments of terror and revulsion... Until the horror and the beauty can no longer be contained, that is, and erupt into the novel’s utterly sublime conclusion. As ever, Tokarczuk’s prose — and Antonia Lloyd-Jones’ glorious translation … — will knock the wind out of you.… The Empusium asks: If bigotry and violence make up the bedrock of our cultural traditions, can we still teach ourselves new ways of seeing and thinking? If we squint hard enough, can we find the women and other unpersons hidden in the past — and the present?”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Fiercely feminist … Tokarczuk’s erudite, subversive, and delightfully zany novel challenges us … to look hard at what’s being said and done around us, especially things we might prefer not to have to witness."—Book Forum
“This rich gothic novel set in 1913 is certainly haunted, but also rife with social commentary on gender dysphoria, inequality, and prejudice. Readers will come for the eerie atmosphere but stay for the searing critique of society's tendency to discard its most vulnerable if it means maintaining a semblance of safety.”—Booklist
“The Polish Nobel winner ladles up a deliciously creepy revenge tale in this satirical spin on Thomas Mann’s 100-year-old masterpiece The Magic Mountain.”—The Guardian
“Olga Tokarczuk’s deft, dark satirical wit is on full display in The Empusium, which challenges the rigid patriarchal world of pre-WWI Europe with horror and humor.”—BookPage
“The gothic elements keep the blood stirring.”—Library Journal
“Reckons with some of the major intellectual questions of the 20th century while simultaneously spinning a mysterious—and spooky—web of intrigue and suspense. A crucial addition to Tokarczuk’s oeuvre.” —Kirkus, STARRED review
“Tokarczuk concocts a potent blend of horror tropes and literary references (Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann) as she realizes the potential of her tale’s uncommon setting—a community set apart by the omnipresence of sickness and death, where the rules of civilized propriety give way to more fantastic possibilities. Readers will find much to savor.” —Publishers Weekly
“Historical fiction threaded through with a playful kind of literary horror, The Empusium . . . is in part a wry response to Thomas Mann’s classic The Magic Mountain, blending high philosophy with dark comedy, strange folklore, and hallucinogenic liquors.”—Goodreads, “Most Anticipated Boos of the Fall”

5.0 out of 5 stars More magical than the 'the Magic Mountain'
This book completely surprised me. Not something that happens very often. The last time I remember was reading 'Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead' by the same author. The ending was nothing like I would ever have imagined. It starts out as a satire of the book by Thomas Mann also based in a TB sanitarium right before WWI when all of Europe's set certainties came to a crashing end. Except that the pervasive misogyny of that world (not that it has entirely disappeared in ours yet), is paraded during the (all male) patients' nightly conversations about the state of the world while drinking the local liquor that is made with hallucinogenic mushrooms. Those attitudes don't hold up well in retrospect and we see how deep they are built into Western culture. The oddly passive main character, an unformed young person who was bullied by their father into being macho floats through this place and tries to find their place in the world. Then things get super WEIRD... I will not give away the spoiler, but it all turns 180 degrees and a massive balancing of everything happens. Somewhat similar to how Ms. Tokarczuk turned everything in a different direction from the apparently supernatural into a realistic but unexpected ending that fit perfectly into the puzzle she built up and gave a satisfying fitting end to the story of 'Drive Your Plow...'; this one does the opposite but to even more powerful effect. It must be experienced to understand. The Nobel committee did not err in giving her the prize. Read all her books. She is unique and wonderful.
4.0 out of 5 stars Horror In A Tuberculosis Sanatorium
A young man, Mieczyslaw Wojnicz, develops a slight case of tuberculosis and is sent by his gruff father to a sanitarium for treatment. Mieczyslaw grew up without a mother as his died young and his adult models were his father and his military uncle, both of whom consider him too sensitive and want him to be more masculine.Set in the early 1900's, there was no real effective treatment for tuberculosis. Patients were sent to hospitals to rest, take restorative baths and eat good food. Mieczyslaw is not able to get a room at the main sanatorium and along with some other patients, has taken a room at a nearby inn. His fellow patients are all older men except for one man around his age.Mieczyslaw has secrets but he's not about to share them with anyone there. In fact, everyone seems to have a secret, including the whole town which hides the fact that each November, a young man is taken and killed in the forest, by whom or what no one knows. The villagers are fairly primitive and full of superstitions which makes finding anything out pretty much impossible. The village seems a place of death as there are frequent patient deaths to go along with the short lives of the villagers. When all the secrets are revealed, there will be shock and horror.Olga Tokarczuk burst onto the American literary scene with her novel Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead, which won the Nobel Prize for Literature. She has also won the International Booker and is one of the most prominent Polish authors now working. This novel has connections to Thomas Mann's masterpiece, The Magic Mountain, which is set in the same time era and environment but Tokarczuk has chosen to take her story into the horror genre. This book is recommended for literary fiction readers.
3.0 out of 5 stars Moments of Sheer Brilliance Punctuated by Boredom
The ideas and plot are delicious! The threat of female rage makes for excellent folk horrorI don't mind the slow pace early on, but those ideas never bore fruit. For example, I was intrigued by the chapter on geometry and thought more would be made of the 4th dimension.After reading 70% of the novel, I expected my patience to be rewarded. Too much is made of the arguments between the men in the guesthouse without getting at the strong emotional underpinnings and build up tension.I enjoyed much of the writing and the ideas and plot are solid
5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and gripping
This novel is a bit of an homage to Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain"--a thick novel dripping with philosophy and the dying culture of the pre-World War I Europe. There are sly referrals to Mann's book all over (such as a claim that the sanatarium town of Görbersdorf was the model for Davos, where "Magic Mountain" was set and the homely nurse Sydonia having one one, but two styes in her eyes a la Adriatica von Mylendonk.) The novel is set in Western Poland (Silesia) in 1913 and is a mystery-murder and philosophical novel with weird happenings, a hallucinogenic herbal liqueur, astonishing misogyny (the discussions of women treat them like a superior kind of semi-sentient animal, running on instinct only) and more.The book gets you from the initial pages, where people are described as parts (boots, shoes, skirts) and you get the spooky feeling that bad things are going to happen, which they do right from the outset.Olga Tokarczuk won the Nobel Prize for Literature and what's unusual is she's a bestseller in the UK--she's no ivory tower literary giant. Her books in Polish or translation to English are readable, fascinating and show a masterful storytelling ability. I haven't been this delighted in an author for a long time. Highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not a horror story...
Very good book. Well written, clever and believable story.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good mystery from a different perspective
Good store based on Polish culture. A bit different and the names were hard to pronounce.
3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty boring and not a horror book
Not sure why this is considered a horror book. Pretty boring and felt long. Nothing really paid off, the action never built up toward anything. Not bad enough to pass over completely after starting, but do not recommend.
a bit disappointing
I very much liked the other works. But the language here was hard to deal with. Perhaps it is an attempt to move the reader into the time, or something. But for me it does not really work. The story does not really progress well and the resolution unsatisfactory. Overall this was disappointing.
何見て跳ねるトカルチュク
2022年作、24年英訳、100周年を迎えた「魔の山」をオマージュした、十九世紀ポーランドのサナトリウムが舞台の伝統小説、という筋立ては、魔の山ではあんなに楽しかった患者同士の会話に溢れるミソジニーによってぶち壊される。こりゃ嫌なことになるなあと思っていたら、どうなるかは読んでのお楽しみ。途中イコンの描写、キノコ狩りなど印象的な描写もあるけれども。いや今この大女性作家がこれを書く必要はあるのだろうが、野郎読者としては敵認定されてしまってきっついなーというのが正直な感想。今後の文学ってこうなっちゃうのかな。少なくとも最新の世界文学ではある。 あと兎が酷い目にあう小説としては飛浩隆「グラン・ヴァカンス」と双璧。
Decepcionante
Me gusta esta autora y he leído varios libros suyos, pero este no pude terminarlo, cuenta una historia aburrida y sin sentido.
A perfect story
Really enjoyed the plot and story line and the development of the characters. Quite a bit of depth without getting bogged down. One of my favourite authors.
One of the best reads of the year
This book is a very interesting blend of atmospheric horror, folklore and feminism. Through the course of the book you really feel like one of the inhabitants in the health resort where the story is based. Anything by Olga Tokarczuk is a must read, and this is no exception
