The Hounding by Xenobe Purvis
In 18th-century Little Nettlebed, five Mansfield sisters become the focus of fearful gossip when villagers claim to see them turning into dogs. Told through multiple local perspectives, the novel explores how superstition, rumor and intolerance escalate into suspicion and danger for those who stand apart. Moody and unsettling, it follows the mounting pressure on the sisters as the community’s anxieties intensify.
