Summary

When Scarlett meets taxidermist Henry, a passionate love affair commences. One year later, on Christmas Day, Scarlett recalls the ebb and flow of their intense relationship and tries to unravel her obsession with Henry’s taxidermy creatures and the influence of his rival, Felix. Both enchanted and entrapped by the isolated rural environment on the Somerset moorland she calls home, Scarlett reaches out to her only remaining family, twin brother Rhett, to make sense of the secrets they share. Soon Scarlett realizes that past promises have far reaching consequences.

Drenched in the torrential rains of rural South West England and the sensual pleasures of the characters, The Taxidermist’s Lover lures you ever deeper into Scarlett’s delightfully eerie world.

Gothic romance, heavy on the romance

A woman falls in love with a taxidermist and encourages his peculiar stuffing.

Very much on the literary side of literary horror, this is a gothic love affair set in the modern age but with strong nods towards Mary Shelley's classic.

If you're looking for visceral horror, or even much dread, this isn't for you, but there is some ghoulishness here too.

The reader does a decent enough job, but it is hard at times to tell the male voices apart - fortunately there are few scenes with multiple men speaking, but it does get distracting at times.
