I loved it' Lucy Rose, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lamb🦌 'Disturbing, seductively written fiction about power and female rage' Guardian🍁 ‘A genuinely beautiful piece of work, and has an incredibly strong narrative voice, mixing nature, love, sex and gore, with a palpable sense of rage, betrayal and familial dysfunction at its heart' SFX'The devil came on the autumn equinox, as he always did.'Tess Wynne keeps mostly to herself in the hills of Appalachia. Her wildlife sanctuary is a refuge for the wounded and unwanted - and the only home she has left. She has built it carefully, with old rituals and even older bargains with the ominous visitor that comes each year.Then she finds a doe split open on the road.Beside it is the fawn who survived. Red-mouthed. Full set of teeth. Hungry.From the moment Tess brings it home, whispers gather in town. A new pastor starts asking questions. And inside Tess, something primal begins to wake: anger, appetite, the slow understanding that prey is only prey for so long.Dark, tender and eerie, Fawn is a slow-burning folk horror of nature, ritual and feverish femininity - a story about what a woman must become to protect what is hers.🦌 Readers are feral for FAWN 🦌🦌 'I want to grind this book into dust and sprinkle it in my coffee.
