THE HORROR STEEPED IN PAGAN FOLKLORE AND A SAPPHIC ROMANCE SET IN A POST-APOCOLYPTIC WORLD FULL OF HUNGRY ELDRITCH CREATURES . . .

Sara and her family must keep moving.

Every few months, they’re discovered, and they have to pack up and get out quick.

For the twins it’s all they’ve ever known, for Danny, Noah and Ma, it’s a reminder of all they’ve lost.

For Sara, it’s just another day.

In yet another abandoned house, one they surround with Pagan wards – the only thing that protects them – Sara and her family think they might be safe, for a while at least.

And then they find a strange girl in the garden.

Parsley can’t remember where she came from or how she got here. The family sees only a threat, but Sara sees hope.

But outside they are waiting. The eldritch creatures. The ones they call Witches.
The ones who already stole everything.

And now, just days after the Parsley arrives, they steal something even more valuable: Noah.

It's time to stop running. It's time to leave the safety of the wards, and try to find Noah in the witches' lair.

It's just that no-one has ever done that and come out alive...

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

Critics Review

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
