Fawn

A genuinely beautiful piece of work, and has an incredibly strong narrative voice, mixing nature, love, sex and gore, with a palpable sense of rage, betrayal and familial dysfunction at its heart * SFX *
Stephen King-ish… a well-written novel * The Sunday Times *
Disturbing, seductively written fiction about power and female rage * The Guardian *
Finally: a witch book that doesn’t f*ck around. – Kirsty Logan, author of NO & OTHER LOVE STORIES
C.N. Vair has cast such a spell over me with her bewitching debut, I doubt any other book will ever break it. Sell your soul, sign your name in the Devil’s ledger, just do whatever you have to do to get your hands on this book. Damnation never read this good. – Clay McLeod Chapman, author of GHOST EATERS
An unflinching Appalachian horror and a book filled with bite, brutality, tenderness and evil. I loved it – Lucy Rose, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE LAMB
A lush, eerie, utterly spellbinding contemporary tale with all the makings of a classic, elegantly rendered by an exciting new talent. Exquisitely unsettling, hauntingly beautiful, and quietly profound. Beware, this book is pretty but it has sharp teeth. – Rachel Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of PLAY NICE
Vair has created an atmospheric, uncanny world in FAWN that drew me in and kept me reading. With every page I was faced with the question that comes with all good storytelling, what will happen next? A mesmerising read. – Mahsuda Snaith, author of THE THINGS WE THOUGHT WE KNEW
A compulsively readable, propulsive tale of what it means to bare your teeth and reclaim what belongs to you. Even if the cost is great. I didn’t want to leave Tess’ world and am still thinking about it days later. This is the sort of book I’ll revisit again and again. – Kristi DeMeester, author of DARK SISTERS and SUCH A PRETTY SMILE
C.N. Vair conjures a world of blighted beauty, old magic, and terrible appetites. Fawn is spellbinding, vicious, and impossible to look away from. – Daphne Fama, author of HOUSE OF MONSTROUS WOMEN
