Publisher Description
For fans of American Horror Story.
Fleeing the horrors of Dickensian England and debts she cannot pay, Rosanna steals passage aboard a ship from a desperate young mother and her child. But all hope of a better life is snuffed out when the ship runs aground on Matron Island, a remote quarantine station off the coast of Tasmania.
Trapped, Rosanna searches for a way out, discovering hidden chambers and a bizarre photography studio deep within the bowls of the station. Each step brings Rosanna closer to the truth and the creatures that await her in the dark . . .
From the pen of Mike Jones – renowned multi-platform writer and Head of Story at Portal Entertainment – The Mothers is the first spoke in the Transgressions Cycle story wheel, this is Australian gothic horror at its finest.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Australian author Mike Jones had us reading late into the night (and turning on the hall light) with his nail-biting gothic tale, a creative blend of horror and historical fiction. When Rosanna’s sickly father exhorts her to escape the harsh fate that awaits her if she stays in Liverpool, she commits a grave crime to board the RMS Perseus bound for Tasmania. Jones’ novel hooked us with its evocative imagery and skin-crawling suspense. We’re excited that The Mothers is the first book in a planned trilogy.
