このコンテンツについて
'Strikes the perfect balance between fairytale and terror' Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me
'A vividly imagined page-turner with a thought-provoking take on gender inequality' Kathryn Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First
BLOOD SPILLS FROM VEINS, SKIN STARTS TO CRACK,
IGNORE THE FOREST; TURN BACK, TURN BACK . . .
In the village of Heulensee, Ilse Odenwald dreams of being afraid. Because in Heulensee, fearfulness is next to godliness.
A monstrous forest borders the village – the Hexenwald. Its horrors attack every time the sky turns blood-red. The townsfolk’s only defence comes from the gruesome, ancient Saint of Fear, who demands the women and girls offer up their terror in return for its protection.
Born without the ability to feel fear, Ilse is an outsider. As hard as she tries, she cannot bring forth the dread that the Saint of Fear demands. When it discovers her divergence, the Saint levels a threat: Ilse must find her fear, or it will devour her sister.
Unable to lose Thea, the only person who understands her, Ilse enters the Hexenwald, hoping that the monsters it harbours will finally scare her. But the forest is hiding a multitude of secrets and Ilse is about to discover that there’s much more than fear to be found within . . .
Inspired by Bavarian folklore, Season of Fear is a beautifully dark feminist fairytale for fans of Ava Reid and Hannah Whitten, which features a seductive lesbian romance and explores the power in being different and accepting yourself for who you are.©2025 Emily Cooper (P)2025 Simon & Schuster UK
批評家のレビュー
“Season of Fear is a wonder and a horror. Cooper's haunting prose practically drips off the page, weaving a tale of darkness, sacrifice, and what it means to be known. This is one book you should not read in the dark.” Alexandria Warwick, author of The North Wind
“A girl who has never known fear discovers the lengths she is willing to go for love in this mesmerizing, standout debut from Emily Cooper. At once lush and haunting, both beautiful and brutal, Season of Fear challenges society’s penchant for female sacrifice and paints a poignant picture of what it truly means to be a savior.” Adrienne Tooley, author of The Third Daughter
"A dark and dreadful tour de force of a debut! Season of Fear is a consuming tale of sacrifice and service that will haunt you long after its final page. Cooper's worldbuilding is exquisitely beautiful and horrific." Erin A. Craig, bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child
“In a world cleverly crafted to highlight the beauty and terror of sacrifice, Cooper’s dark debut gives us a heroine worth remembering. Love, sisterhood, and ritual blend together to create a timely and monstrous tale that will haunt readers until the very end.” Elle Tesch, author of What Wakes the Bells
“Emily Cooper's love for her characters and this world shines in every twist and turn of this impassioned, deservedly angry debut. A rewarding read for anyone seeking smart, timeless horror that seizes your attention from the first page.” Logan-Ashley Kisner, author of Old Wounds
