Eerie, haunting and disturbing

‘The Cat Bride is not just a horror novel but a provocative meditation on identity and inherited violence. Tierney’s ability to balance grotesque imagery with poetic introspection makes this a standout debut …a story that will invoke pure cat scratch fever dreams for your subconscious to mull over for days.’ —Gingernuts of Horror
