Salt Lick

Lulu Allison grew up in the Chilterns then attended Central St Martin’s School of Art. She spent a number of footloose years travelling and living abroad in Germany, Amsterdam, Fiji and New Zealand. In 2013, what began as an art project took her into writing and she unexpectedly discovered what she should have been doing all along. The project became her first novel, Twice the Speed of Dark. She has two daughters and lives with her husband in Brighton. @LuluAllison77

'A compelling fable of decline, a lament for a way of life, and a warning about what society is already becoming. It is a capsule of England and its dystopian present ... as sad and angry as it is memorable' Rónán Hession'Salt Lick is that rare beast – imaginative, risky storytelling where every sentence is a gift' Heidi James
