Carrion Crow
Join Heather Parry for an illuminating conversation about her haunting new novel, Carrion Crow. Parry’s debut novel, Orpheus Builds a Girl, was shortlisted for the Saltire Fiction Book of the Year award and longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize.
Discover how Parry weaves a gothic tapestry of class, gender and hidden truths in late Victorian London, and delve into the visceral world of her protagonist Marguerite — locked away, haunted, and forever changed. Through her rich, evocative prose and dark humour, she offers a fearless exploration of the body, society, and survival.
