From Little Stack
On Christmas, a year into a passionate affair with Henry, Scarlett tries to unravel their intense relationship and her obsession with his taxidermy creatures. She calls their remote Somerset moorland home and is both obsessed with Henry and trapped by him. For many Christmas is magic. It invokes warm memories of holiday’s past. But for Scarlett, the past holds memories full of secrets and promises. The kind that are grotesque. The kind that just might kill.
A modern Gothic tale of a woman obsessed with her lover's taxidermy creatures and haunted by her past.
One stormy Christmas, Scarlett recalls the ebb and flow of a yearlong love affair with Henry, a renowned taxidermist. Obsessed with his taxidermy creatures, she pushes him to outdo his colleague and world-famous rival in a crescendo of species-blending creativity. Scarlett will not be able to avoid a reckoning with her own past as Henry's inventions creep into her own thoughts, dreams, and desires.
Drenched in the torrential rains of the Somerset moorland and the sensual pleasures of the characters, The Taxidermist's Lover lures you ever deeper into Scarlett's delightfully eerie world.
