Overview

A rich upmarket horror, steeped in Pagan folklore and a sapphic romance set against the backdrop of hungry creatures and a post-apocalyptic Britian . . . Britian, two years after they came . . . Most people have been devoured by the eldritch creatures. Sara and her family have been fighting for survival. And the only thing that works against these monsters - these Witches - is their knowledge of folklore and pagan rituals. When a girl named Parsley suddenly appears in the garden of their current camp, she cannot remember where she came from or why she's there. As Sara and Parsley begin to develop feelings for each other, disaster strikes, and Sara's younger brother Noah is snatched by the Witches. They must find him and set out across desolate moors full of merciless terror, to hunt the very creatures they've been hiding from. Can they succeed in saving Noah? Will Parsley and Sara's burgeoning love survive these bloodthirsty Witches? and, who can Sara trust in a world void of humanity?

Reviews

We Call Them Witches is a fresh take on dystopian horror, brimming with eldritch creatures, love and desire, and examining how far we'll go to save our family from what hunts them. I love it. * Laura Elliott, author of Awakened * Bower ensnares the reader in a terrifying web from page one and takes you by the throat through the rest of the book. A truly spectacular twist on witchy romance that has you begging to sink its claws deeper. Even when it hurts. * Hazel McBride, author of A Fate Forged in Fire * India Rose-Bower conjures a post-apocalyptic nightmare, teeming with mind-bending monsters and heartfelt humanity. There’s no warding off the dread entwined in every page, and I couldn’t turn them fast enough. * Brian McAuley, USA Today Bestselling Author of Breathe In, Bleed Out * We Call Them Witches combines many of my favourite things - sapphism, folk horror, family dynamics, a post-apocalyptic setting - and in doing so creates something utterly compelling and terrifying (and I don't scare easily). I loved every page! * Johanna van Veen, USA Today Bestselling Author of Blood On Her Tongue * India-Rose Bower’s debut offers a new take on horror, blending pagan folklore and sapphic romance * PinkNews * Intersecting horror and folklore in an apocalyptic world creates a tense, atmospheric dystopian novel that captures realistic family dynamics, betrayal, the occult and chilling uncertainty * Yorkshire Life *
