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.
