Scheduled publication date - 6th February 2025

The perfect anti-Valentine- a deliciously dark collection of love stories, from a prizewinning LGBTQI+ writer who has been compared to Angela Carter. 

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.

'Exploring the dark underbelly of love in all its guises, Kirsty Logan's words writhe on the page, a gothic homage to the visceral, haunting, unnerving nature of human connection.
