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 * 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 * 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 * Yorkshire Life *
