Praise for Charybdis:
“Monsters come in many forms — from mythological jealousy to Brontean obsessive misfires of the mind. In Suzanne Craig-Whytock’s beautifully crafted literary mystery, the past and present are swept up in a whirlpool of their own making as a modern-day English literature student attempts to unravel the dark secrets and desires of an obscure Victorian Canadian poet.” Rod Carley, author of RUFF. Twice long-listed for the Leacock Medal for Humour.
