Heather Parry & Kirsty Logan in Conversation | 24th April @ 7pm

 
Join us to celebrate two new books from Glasgow's finest.

AS FEATURED IN THE RADIO TIMES’ AND THE SCOTSMAN’S ‘BOOKS FOR 2025', Carrion Crow by Heather Parry

Marguerite has been locked in the attic of her family home, a disintegrating Chelsea house overlooking the stench of the Thames. For company she has: a sewing machine, a copy of Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management and trays of congealing food carried up to her with little regularity. Marguerite has been confined by her mother, Cécile, who is concerned about her engagement to an older, near-penniless solicitor, Mr Lewis, and wishes to educate her daughter on ‘proper’ married conduct – lest she drag the family’s good name into disrepute. But why is Marguerite pursuing the aged Mr Lewis in the first place? Why are her mother’s visits seemingly becoming less frequent? And just how much time has passed since the lock closed on the attic’s hatch?

From the prizewinning author of NOW SHE IS WITCH, Kirsty Logan's new short story collection No & Other Love Stories

 Can 'no' be a declaration of love? What happens when love is savage, dangerous
 and all-consuming? In this gorgeous and unsettling collection, women navigate
 the complexities and cruelties of desire across time and place, from a medieval
 convent to a Victorian parlour to a 1990s high school.
 * An expectant mother feeds raw meat to the wasp's nest in her shed.
 * A pair of sapphic lovers use ghost possession to fleece money from lecherous
 men.
 * One woman in wartime London discovers that she loves her husband much
 more as a ghost.
 * A teenage girl becomes infatuated with a bloodthirsty succubus.
