The Final Girls: A Horror Film Podcast

Bloody Book Club, our monthly series of interviews with horror authors, welcomes Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb. 

The Lamb is the buzziest horror debut novel about a cannibal mother and daughter. Margot and Mama live by the forest, away from everyone else. When Margot isn’t at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Mama feeds them, bathes them, and then – eats them. Lucy is an amazing new talent, writing short stories, making films and now, writing novels too. 

The Lamb is out on January 30th.
