Förlagets information

A literary folklore retelling - put through a horror blender. Perfect for fans of Katherine Arden and unremitting dread, Honeysuckle is a dark and twisted fairy tale with rot at its heart . . .

'A lush, dreamlike, wholly intoxicating novel . . . Honeysuckle is a fever dream that I won't soon forget' - Ava Reid, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning

An entrancing, inventive and unsettling reimagining of the story of Blodeuwedd from Welsh mythology, Honeysuckle by Bar Fridman-Tell is a feminist Frankenstein with flowers; a deliciously dark, twisted, horror-tinged fairy tale with rot at its heart . . .

Once upon a time, on the edge of a forest, there was a lonely child with only his older sister for company. So his sister made him a playmate: Daye, a girl woven from carefully selected flowers and words.

Rory is gloriously happy, until he learns that Daye is a seasonal creature. At the end of each season, she must be woven back together or fall gruesomely apart. And when, one autumn, his sister fails to return home from university in time, Rory has no choice but to watch his best friend slowly crumble.

Realizing he can no longer rely on his sister to keep Daye alive, Rory determines he must leave home to learn how to do it himself. Rory sinks deeper into research and experiments to end the cycle of bloom and decay. But as Rory grows older, his thoughts turn darker . . .

What readers are saying about Honeysuckle:

'A very original and engaging story with lots to keep you hooked.'

'A folk horror . . . with an effective blend of gothic and botanical horror.'

'I was totally mesmerized by this book. I couldn't put it down.'

'Bloody brilliant. Read it in one sitting, and felt every emotion under the Sun. I could write pages about this amazing book, but you should take this journey as blind as Daye did . . . then have your eyes opened for you . . .'
