Yvonne Battle-Felton and Lorraine Wilson: in conversation with Catherine Spooner
By Lancaster Litfest
UnlistedCurdle Creek:
‘Compelling’ Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie
Osira, a 45-year-old widow, is an obedient follower of the strict conventions of Curdle Creek, an all-Black town in rural America governed by a tradition of ominous rituals designed to keep the residents safe. It has one particularly strict rule: one in, one out. And one day, it is Osira’s turn.
We Are All Ghosts in the Forest:
‘Folkloric world building at its best’ Lucie McKnight Hardy, author of Dead Relatives
The internet has collapsed, leaving its digital ghosts behind – and they are hungry.
Katerina flees the city to a village on the edge of
a forest. But when a wordless boy finds her in the marketplace with nothing but her name in his pocket, the mood in the village begins to sour.
Yvonne Battle-Felton was born in Pennsylvania and raised in New Jersey. She has an MA in Writing from John Hopkins and a PhD in Creative Writing from Lancaster University. She is the author of Remembered.
Lorraine Wilson is a third culture Scot, conservation scientist and author of speculative fiction influenced by folklore and the wilderness. She is the author of four books including Mother Sea and The Last Drown.
