A rich upmarket horror, steeped in Pagan folklore and a sapphic romance set against the backdrop of hungry creatures and a post-apocalyptic Britian . . .

The world has ended and eldritch-like creatures stalk the earth, hunting every human.

But Sara and her family have been fighting for survival, armed with their knowledge of folklore and pagan rituals - the only weapon that seems to work against these monsters.

And then a young woman, Parsley, comes out of nowhere into Sara's life.

Found in their garden, they have no idea where she is from.

Sara feels herself growing closer to this stranger, drawn in by her alien presence. Until her young brother, Noah, is stolen in the night by the witches and Sara's family split up to find him.

But can Parsley truly be trusted in a world where humanity is as scarce as humans themselves?

I-R

Praise for We Call Them Witches

Bower ensnares the reader in a terrifying web from page one and takes you by the throat through the rest of the book. A truly spectacular twist on witchy romance that has you begging to sink its claws deeper. Even when it hurts.

Hazel McBride, author of A Fate Forged in Fire

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 conjures a post-apocalyptic nightmare, teeming with mind-bending monsters and heartfelt humanity. There’s no warding off the dread entwined in every page, and I couldn’t turn them fast enough.

Brian McAuley, USA Today Bestselling Author of Breathe In, Bleed Out

We Call Them Witches combines many of my favourite things - sapphism, folk horror, family dynamics, a post-apocalyptic setting - and in doing so creates something utterly compelling and terrifying (and I don't scare easily). I loved every page!

Johanna van Veen, USA Today Bestselling Author of Blood On Her Tongue

India-Rose Bower’s debut offers a new take on horror, blending pagan folklore and sapphic romance

PinkNews

Intersecting horror and folklore in an apocalyptic world creates a tense, atmospheric dystopian novel that captures realistic family dynamics, betrayal, the occult and chilling uncertainty
