I couldn't put this book down' Gold title * Olivia Isaac-Henry has tapped into an emerging trend in fiction for folk and occult suspense fiction which has seen the emergence of authors such as CJ Cooke, Francine Toon and AM Shine, and books such as The Watchers, The Lighthouse Witches and Pine which uncannily subvert the psychological thriller space with a folk / horror edge. * Olivia has a fresh and distinctive voice in this growing genre; Olivia is a writer of colour, and her novel tackles the notion of othering and acceptance in small communities. * We've seen readers drawn towards this area of fiction which has been fed by the success of films such as Midsommer and Men; this area is a cross-media trend that continues to grow and readers are hungry for more in this area. * A gripping page-turner, we will be doing early proofs to build a buzz with stunning and arresting cover artwork Competition: the;pine;whistling;watchers;lighthouse;witches;ghost;woods;chalk man;don't look back;fisherman;haunting season.
