THE #2 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
A gripping, sinister folktale set in contemporary Cumbria for fans of Sophie Mackintosh, Angela Carter, Daisy Johnson, Margaret Atwood and Julia Armfield
'A superbly creepy folk-horror tale . . . at heart it's about dysfunctional family dynamics, female rage and empowerment'
FINANCIAL TIMES
'Deliciously dark and shockingly bold. One of my favourite debuts in a long time'
KIRSTY LOGAN
'A new generation of literary horror begins with Lucy Rose'
GENEVIEVE JAGGER
'An unforgettable, nightmarish tale. I ate it all up'
ANNA BOGUTSKAYA
A FOLK TALE. A HORROR STORY. A LOVE STORY. AN ENCHANTMENT.
Margot and Mama have lived by the forest since Margot can remember. When Margot isn't at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she satisfies her burning appetite by picking apart their bodies.
But Mama's want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, little Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires and make a bid for freedom.
With this tender coming-of-age tale, debut novelist Lucy Rose explores how women swallow their anger, desire and animal instincts - and wrings the relationship between mother and daughter until blood drips from it.
'Stunning, shocking and surprising at each turn'
BENJAMIN MYERS
'A modern Grimm fairytale'
SUSAN BARKER
'Dark, poetic, gothic, folky and full of courage and beauty'
TIM DOWNIE
'I didn't just like it, I loved it . . . This is absolutely going to be the feral girl novel of 2025'
RED, BOOKSELLER
'Dear reader, I predict you will be as obsessed as me'
MOLLY AITKEN
'Lucy Rose can certainly write . . . The Lamb grips all the way to an unexpected denouement'
GUARDIAN
"The Lamb . . . is not out until January but it has already created a buzz" - Sunday Times
"Lucy Rose can certainly write . . . The Lamb grips all the way to an unexpected denouement that is as comfortless as it is eerie" - Guardian
"The Lamb is a hard tale to shake" - Observer
"A superbly creepy folk-horror tale . . . at heart it's about dysfunctional family dynamics, female rage and empowerment" - Financial Times
"The Lamb is written in terse and pared back language then it bubbles like a simmering stove towards a memorable and nightmarish conclusion" - Irish Examiner
"A nightmare fable . . . A troubling fever dream of a book that nevertheless compels you to follow it into the shadows" - Herald
"What makes this twist on Hansel and Gretel particularly unsettling is the twilight world it occupies between the "safe" remove of folk tale and the clinical glare of realism . . . This dark, gorgeous concoction is layered with insights into the insidious perpetuation of family violence" - New York Times
"Beautiful, terrifying . . . Rose's novel feels destined to become a classic . . . it reminded me of The Juniper Tree, one of the most enduring and powerful of folktales, with its message of retribution and renewal" - Washington Post
"A gleefully gruesome tale . . . Femgore at its finest" - People Magazine
"Grimms' Fairy Tales meets Mommie Dearest in a twisted debut novel about the complex hungers of mothers and daughters . . . The rich, almost unguent prose carries the story through its gruesome developments without, surprisingly, being gratuitous, as it digs deep into the viscera of the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters, lovers, and one's own physical and emotional hungers. A gruesome yet illuminating coming-of-age story that will keep readers awake night after night" - Kirkus Reviews
"A potent and grotesque tale . . . A portrait of the dark side of feminine rage. This modern folktale hits hard" - Publishers Weekly
"A strange and bold debut from an exciting new voice" - The Skinny
"A brutal meditation on motherhood, feminine rage, and what it takes to survive. It's equal parts scathing and sentimental" - Booklist
"This is the genius of Rose's folktale: she blurs the lines between hunger and gluttony, human and animal, love and revulsion. It's hypnotic, grotesque and beautiful all at once" - Bookpage
