Like the eponymous fens, these stories have a hazy liminal quality. Watery myths and superstitions seep through the gaps in beautiful, unsettling ways, occasionally referencing each other. There’s earthy sensuality, brutality, loss, and transformation, crossing boundaries of species and reality.

Me too, but I was captivated.
Review to come.

Too little reading time of late, but I'm enjoying slipping these watery, earthy, bloody, slightly mystical, and faintly disturbing women-focused short stories into my days. Unexpectedly suitable for spooky season.
But why, when they are all set in the eponymous rural fens of East Anglia, is the grid reference in the intro to Oxford city centre?
