From Little Stack
A crumbling castle. A secretive cult. A girl with a knife and something to prove.
If you love your mysteries soaked in sea mist, ancient rites, and deeply unsettling family dinners, then Little Eve is about to crawl under your skin in the best way. Set on a remote Scottish island between World War I and World War II, this gothic stunner from Catriona Ward (queen of the literary mindbending-thriller) gives major gothic folklore meets Shirley Jackson energy… but twistier, weirder, and even more emotionally devastating.
The story opens with a dead body with an eye missing. A cheerful start! From there, Ward pulls the reader into the decaying world of a clan who believe the end of the world is coming… and that they might be the ones to survive it. Add in solstice rituals, prophecy, betrayal, and girls raised to be monsters or martyrs (depending on the day), and you’ve got a story that simmers with dread until it explodes.
Midsummer never looked so messed up.
Filled with cults that feel too real, a gothic atmosphere so thick you could spread it on toast, sharp prose, sharp women, and sharper secrets. Little Eve comes highly recommended.
Just don’t say I didn’t warn you…
From Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street, comes a heart-pounding tale of faith and family, with a devastating twist. “A great day is upon us. He is coming. The world will be washed away.”
On the wind-battered isle of Altnaharra, off the wildest coast of Scotland, a clan prepares to bring about the end of the world and its imminent rebirth. The Adder is coming and one of their number will inherit its powers. They all want the honor, but young Eve is willing to do anything for the distinction.
A reckoning beyond Eve’s imagination begins when Chief Inspector Black arrives to investigate a brutal murder and their sacred ceremony goes terribly wrong. And soon all the secrets of Altnaharra will be uncovered.
