Read my New Folk Horror Christmas Novel for Free

I’ve just finished writing my next novel - a cosy folk-horror set at Christmas - and I’m giving my Substack followers the chance to read it for free. I’ve decided to serialise it in posts from the end of November to New Year. It will be completely free to read in this format on Lucya’s Substack

The book is called Christmas Ghosts and the Holly Queen and it features the same main character as Erosion, my first Gothic novel. In the new novel, a group of friends seek the joys of Christmas past in an idyllic remote cottage but discover the spectres of bygone times lurk there too. It’s about friendship, folklore and the telling of ghost stories at Yuletide.

Christmas Ghosts and the Holly Queen is a complete story so you don’t need to have read Erosion before you begin. However, the main character, Alice, sometimes briefly refers to things that happened in the earlier novel. I’ll indicate when a spoiler appears so you can skip those paragraphs if you want to. You might choose to read Erosion first so you don’t need to avoid spoilers, or you might want to read this freebie to see whether buying Erosion is something you want to do.

Where to find Erosion, my first Gothic novel

My publisher is Moon Books, an imprint of Collective Ink. You can find Erosion on its website via this link: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/moon-books/our-books/erosion-novel

You can order from any of Collective Ink's imprints. Moon Books publishes well respected titles on magickal topics, particularly the Pagan Portals series. Other imprints cover mind, body spirit subjects, culture and politics, history and fiction. My non-fiction books in the Pagan Portals series are Candle Magic, Poppets and Magical Dolls, Scrying, Guided Visualisations, and Rounding the Wheel of the Year.

You can also view Erosion on Amazon. (Please note I earn commission from some links)
