DATE OF RELEASE: 5 FEB 2026
A deliciously dark collection of love stories to sink your teeth into, from the prizewinning author of NOW SHE IS WITCH.
Can 'no' be a declaration of love? What happens when love is savage, dangerous and all-consuming? In this gorgeous and unsettling collection, women navigate the complexities and cruelties of desire across time and place, from a medieval convent to a Victorian parlour to a 1990s high school. * An expectant mother feeds raw meat to the wasp's nest in her shed.
* A pair of sapphic lovers use ghost possession to fleece money from lecherous men. * One woman in wartime London discovers that she loves her husband much more as a ghost. * A teenage girl becomes infatuated with a bloodthirsty succubus. Intensely atmospheric, surprising and darkly funny, this collection is a richly flavoured feast from a brilliant writer in full command of the form.
