Produktbeschreibung

A beautifully told, dark and unsettling fairy-tale about a safe haven for women which transforms them into vessels of revenge, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, A. G Slatter and Julia Armfield A woman in the woods alone is never the beginning of the story. It's usually the end. ELLY Elly is running. Pregnant and still in her wedding dress, she flees the cottage that her new husband, Ethan, has rented for their wedding night. Because he's not what people think he is, and she knows that one day he'll hurt her in a way she can't fix. Freezing and alone in the woods in the dead of night, she accepts that she's going to die. But just as she has given up all hope, a house appears out of nowhere, and a woman beckons her in. Welcome to Hex House. A place that can only be found by those who truly need it. A place that teaches broken women how to access a power more beautiful and more horrifying than anything they could have imagined. SIOBHAN Edinburgh, present day: Siobhan's life is in ruins. Once a promising documentary filmmaker, she has given up on her dream, and kept all the terrifying footage she has of Hex House hidden away. She tries to erase all the horrors she witnessed with drugs and alcohol, and spends her time toying with a man in increasingly feral and dangerous ways. Her brother won't speak to her, and she ignores the scar on her stomach that never fully heals But despite everything, always, she feels the presence of that place. And she knows, deep down, that she has to return.
