Abigail Mitchell is her colony’s witchfinder. When someone goes missing, the colony turn to her. She takes her crossbow and heads into the mountains to kill the witches: mysterious outsiders wearing pig masks and cooking human flesh in their cauldrons.
She has her own problems back in the colony. Her mother and father are afraid of her. Her sick sister, Beth, might be dying.
The colony council’s avuncular leader, Billy Peddlarson, shakes her hand every time Abigail brings back a dead witch but the disappearances continue, and her own doubts grow. Another witchfinder, Alice Wickham, uncovers a strange object that she shows to Abigail: a portable radio.
At night, Abigail hears a frightening new sound she does not understand — the roar of a chainsaw.
Targeted Age Group:: 14-18
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The book was inspired by paranoid late-sixties, early-seventies music like The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Black Sabbath, that I was listening to while living in Oxford. As summer 2022 began, it felt like I was going back in time. It was also inspired by the politics at my local Student Union – urggh.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Abigail was based partly on Joni Mitchell (hence the surname), although her family is also Eastenders-lite (the Mitchells). Billy Peddlarson is based on my old SU president, who was a real bastard.
