Bog Queen

(2025)
A novel by

 
 
A colony of moss does not express preferences for certain people, living or dead. But if such a colony of moss did decide to reveal its favourites, let us just say this: You might be surprised.

In 2018, a young forensic scientist, homesick and adrift in the North of England, is heading to a coroner's office to identify a body.

In 50 BCE, a female druid is travelling to a city in the South where she will appear before the new king.

And underfoot, all along, a teeming colony of moss is opening its wet mouth, waiting.

In this wonderfully strange, multi-layered story, the unexpected discovery of an ancient bog body becomes a pinprick of light in the depths of humanity's history.
