We Call Them Witches

**Brought to you by Penguin. THE HORROR STEEPED IN PAGAN FOLKLORE AND A SAPPHIC ROMANCE SET IN A POST-APOCOLYPTIC WORLD FULL OF HUNGRY ELDRITCH CREATURES . . .** Sara and her family must keep moving. Every few months, they’re discovered, and they have to pack up and get out quick. For the twins it’s all they’ve ever known, for Danny, Noah and Ma, it’s a reminder of all they’ve lost. For Sara, it’s just another day. In yet another abandoned house, one they surround with Pagan wards – the only thing that protects them – Sara and her family think they might be safe, for a while at least. And then they find a strange girl in the garden. Parsley can’t remember where she came from or how she got here. The family sees only a threat, but Sara sees hope. But outside they are waiting. The eldritch creatures. The ones they call Witches. The ones who already stole everything. And now, just days after the Parsley arrives, they steal something even more valuable: Noah. It's time to stop running. It's time to leave the safety of the wards, and try to find Noah in the witches' lair. It's just that no-one has ever done that and come out alive... 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 © India-Rose Bower 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
