Verge

Verge is a story of unity in light of a disunited Kingdom. Attia has written a vibrant and devastating tale of loss and love that strikes a minor melody at your very heart. Halim and Rowena are characters to treasure - Saara El-Arifi, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Final Strife

A strange and haunting debut... Attia's spellbinding sentences and wonderful characters draw you into a story unlike any other. This is an author to watch - T.L. Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead and Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments

Steeped in folk horror but driven by post-Brexit anxiety, Verge imagines a startlingly original dystopian future that still has its roots in the old ways. A thrilling read and the herald of a significant new talent - Dan Coxon, author and British Fantasy Award-winning editor of Writing the Uncanny

A gripping debut... Verge swerves through a fascinating, fractured landscape of folkloric traditions and contemporary divisions, driving its compelling duo to the edge of their own wilderness, asking: what lies beyond the places we can't reach? - Cari Thomas, author of Threadneedle and The Hedge Witch

An enthralling trip through a changed British landscape, funny and ominous by turns, digging deep into folk beliefs and the power of curses and blessings - Kim Newman, author of Anno Dracula and Something More Than Night
