This is a book to take on a hike and consume whilst drinking coffee on a hillside. It’s a book to pull from your handbag in the dentist's waiting room. It’s a book to read with friends and compare fiction to real life.

For screen readers- the above image holds a text review of Dark Is The Water;
“Dark Is The Water contains startlingly original tales where the natural world and the human world are deeply intertwined. Through birds, bodies and blurred boundaries these uncanny stories pick at the characters within them, and at the reader. Some are brutal, all are bold, and things are rarely as they seem. A perfectly unsettling collection that filled me with awe and unease in equal measure.”
Gaynor Jones, Author
