  "Thirteen in number . . . It is my belief my daughter danced with the devil . . ." 
   
   
   
  As soon as Lyddie crosses the old stone bridge into Creech Cross, there's a strong feeling of stepping, not so much back in time, as out of it. Ancient magic overlaid with dark witchcraft and superstition bleeds into the present day, events, and people as woven into the fabric of history as the age-old tracks traversing the land itself. Local people barely acknowledge her, and the incomers are that bit too friendly, until gradually it becomes clear she and her husband are in danger. 
   
   
   
  Who to trust? Who not to trust? Before the situation becomes alarmingly, inexplicably . . . unsafe.

  Winner of Spain's Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 2023 
   
   
   
  Summer ends, the season changes, and Coro, an artist frightened off by what her own paintings may represent, gets in her car and drives for hours in the middle of the night until she chances upon Betania, an isolated house existing in a world of its own. It's an unfamiliar place inhabited exclusively by women who, strangely, all seem to know her. 
   
   
   
  Like adherents of an ancient cult, the women of Betania all dress the same, carry out strange rites and celebrations, and live alongside goats and innumerable dogs against a landscape dominated by an immense, imposing mountain that seems to block out the sunlight. Theirs is a hierarchical, closed, and restless universe where—as the other women tell her and despite her attempts to escape the area—Coro may finally discover what it means to be part of something. 
   
   
   
  A "Hotel California" of the human heart, Pilar Adon's Of Beasts and Fowl is a novel about the things that we do without knowing why, but that have an explanation that perhaps we will some day come to understand.
