Until We Drown

Ava Morwood was raised in Penistone, South Yorkshire, and still lives locally in a house of creaking doors and crooked walls, with her partner Fergus. She loves exploring the hills and dales with her two hugely enthusiastic Dalmatians and has a penchant for books on folklore and weird history, Earl Grey tea and semicolons.She has won the Shirley Jackson Award for Short Fiction, and her debut thriller The Cold Season, written under the name Alison Littlewood, was a R&J pick.

SLATTER, award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones and The Cold House'A siren song that draws you willingly into a brutal, beautiful world of watery myths … a perfect fairytale –– hypnotic, lyrical and ultimately horrific.
