About the Author
Ishbelle Bee writes horror and loves fairy tales, the Victorian period (especially top hats!), and cake tents at village fêtes (she believes serial killers usually opt for the Victoria Sponge). She currently lives in Edinburgh. She doesn’t own a rescue cat, but if she did his name would be Mr Pickles. Her next book will be The Contrary Tale of the Butterfly Girl.
