A HORROR STORY. A LOVE STORY. AN ENCHANTMENT.\n\"A dark, gorgeous concoction.”—New York Times\n“Beautiful, terrifying . . . . Destined to become a classic.\"—Washington Post\nFrom an incendiary new talent, a contemporary queer folktale about a mother and daughter living in the woods, for fans of Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood, and Julia Armfield.\nMargot and Mama have lived by the forest ever since Margot can remember.\nWhen Margot is not at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. People who have strayed too far from the road. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she satisfies her burning appetite by picking apart their bodies.\nBut Mama’s want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a beautiful, white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires, and make her bid for freedom.\nWith this gothic 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0063374609\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0063374609.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rose, Lucy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
