Den

'From its original premise to the wonderful writing, Den is one of those novels you can't look away from' JENNIE GODFREY

'An eerie, hypnotic fable that captures the profound longing that unites us all' WIZ WHARTON

In a garden somewhere in London, Fox is watching a man called Ben through his kitchen doors.

What Ben has, Fox wants. Bi-folds. Crockery. Taps. A loving family, and a warm bed to sleep in at night.

Fox believes Ben to be careless of his riches - he's a distant father, a disinterested partner. Ben doesn't even notice when Fox begins stealing pieces of his life - the odd shoe, a colourful sock, various bits of cutlery.

And now he's had a taste, Fox wants more: to take over the entire house, and Ben's life with it.

Voyeuristic and haunting, Den is a strikingly original fever-dream of a novel about what it means to make - and keep - a life, perfect for fans of Fruit Fly and The Lamb.

'Stunning, surreal, raw: Den is a tender, darkly comic story of grief, family and our basic need for shelter.' - Genevieve Marenghi, author of No Oil Painting

'Tender, humorous and heartbreaking . . . A beautifully written, constantly surprising story about foxes (and humans).' - Emily Midorikawa, author of A Tiny Speck of Black and then Nothing
