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.

A bewitching tale of first love, shattering grief, and the dangerous magic that draws us home.
Mara's island is one of stories and magic, but every story ends in the same way. She will finish her days on the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the islanders before her.
Mara's parents - a boxer and a ballerina - chose this enchanted place as a refuge from the turbulence of their previous lives; they wanted to bring up their children somewhere special and safe. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels.
It takes the arrival of Pearl, mysterious and irresistible, to light a spark in Mara again, and allow her to consider a different story for herself.
The Gloaming is a gorgeous tale of love and grief, and the gap between fairy tales and real life.
