The black air

In a remote village overshadowed by a gruesome legend and ancient superstitions, who can say what’s real, what’s not, and what should stay buried deep inside your head? Set in the depths of rural Lancashire as a community marks the 400th anniversary of the Long Byrne witches’ deaths, ‘The Black Air’ is a story about obsession, mental health, disordered eating, the supernatural, and the lengths that teenage girls will go to for the sake of all-consuming female friendships.
