C. J. Cooke launches The Book of Witching at Waterstones Argyle St

Details

C. J. Cooke, acclaimed author of The Lighthouse Witches and A Haunting In The Arctic, joins us to launch her latest novel, a perfect Halloween-season read: The Book of Witching!
C. J. Cooke will be in discussion with Glasgow's own Kirsty Logan, author of Now She Is Witch, about the role of witches in society, the long shadows of history, the lure of the supernatural, and how to really chill the bones in fiction, in a perfect spooky season event, before C. J. signs copies of The Book of Witching!
The Book of Witching
Four hundred years separate them.
One book binds them.
Glasgow 2024: Clem waits by her daughter’s hospital bed. Erin was found on an idyllic beach in Fynhallow Bay, Orkney with catastrophic burns and only one memory: her name is Nyx.
But how did she get these burns? And how did her boyfriend end up burned alive.
Orkney 1594: accused of witchcraft, Alison Balfour awaits trial. The punishment? To be burned alive.
Separated by four hundred years but bound by the Book of Witching, two women stand imperilled. Can they unlock a centuries-old mystery? And will Fynhallow Bay give up its secrets before someone else dies?
