“A feverishly haunting story about the ways in which love can free us from the traumas that entangle us, all told with a deeply authentic Scottish voice.” —Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters

“At once haunting and moving, shot through with a tenderness that underscores the pervasive, dreamy horror. This book will sink its roots into you and never let go.” —CJ Dotson, author of The Cut

“Perfectly creepy and rich with power and yearning.” —Lorraine Wilson, author of We Are All Ghosts in the Forest

“The Needfire combines all the elements of a traditional gothic novel – the derelict grand estate, the festering secrets, the prophetic dreams – with the more modern slow-burn sapphic love story. Add a pinch of witchcraft and a generous helping of female rage, and you end up with a haunting page-turner that demands to be felt.” —Johanna van Veen, author of My Darling, Dreadful Thing

“An assured and glorious debut; like the haar around Corrain House, The Needfire will linger with me for a long time to come.” —Sam K. Horton, author of Gorse
