From award-winning author Polly Hallcomes a "lyrical debut" (Booklist, Starred Review) and contemporary gothic tale "filled with startling conclusions about the nature of art and love and death" (NYT Book Review).
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.
