"Grey Dog" by Elliott Gish, published by ECW Press. "Gish's prose is as sharp as a scalpel." — Publishers Weekly , starred review " Grey Dog is a bewitching tale of the horrors of spinsterhood in the early 1900s, with madness and magic threaded through every sentence." —Heather O'Neill, author of When We Lost Our Heads and Lullabies for Little Criminals A subversive literary horror novel that disrupts the tropes of women's historical fiction with delusions, wild beasts, and the uncontainable power of female rage The year is 1901, and Ada Byrd — spinster, schoolmarm, amateur naturalist — accepts a teaching post in isolated Lowry Bridge, grateful for the chance to re-establish herself where no one knows her secrets. She develops friendships with her neighbors, explores the woods with her students, and begins to see a future in this tiny farming community. Her past — riddled with grief and shame — has never seemed so far... Book details: published 2024. Order now on BookShops.in with fast, reliable delivery across India.
