ABOUT THE BOOK

The Lamb

A FOLK TALE. A HORROR STORY. A LOVE STORY. AN ENCHANTMENT.

Margot and Mama have lived by the forest since Margot can remember. When Margot isn't at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door.

Strays, Mama calls them. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she satisfies her burning appetite by picking apart their bodies.

But Mama's want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, little Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires and make a bid for freedom.

With this tender coming-of-age tale, debut novelist Lucy Rose explores how women swallow their anger, desire and animal instincts - and wrings the relationship between mother and daughter until blood drips from it.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Phantoms of Kernow: Classic Tales of Haunted Cornwall

As the storm booms out in the bay and the waves smash against the rocks, the masts of a cursed and spectral vessel are drawing near. As the mists roll over Bodmin moor, the moonlight reveals a night alive with spirits.

Welcoming a fresh roster of seaside spectres, tin-mine terrors and holiday haunters, this return to the bountiful fold of Cornish horror fiction features more lost classics from Victorian periodicals alongside atmospheric tales from the great twentieth-century writers of the Cornish weird such as Mary Williams, Mary Butts and Sabine Baring-Gould.
