An eerie dystopian drama filled with dark folklore, for readers aged 12+
“We loved Polly Crosby's This Tale is Forbidden, which we sent to our Macaw subscribers in February 2024 - a dark fairy tale-inspired fantasy with a thrilling dystopian storyline and a classic feel but plenty of contemporary relevance. The Vulpine promises more of the same - we are intrigued and can't wait to read it!”
~Sarah
Ora has always been fascinated by chilling fairy stories of the Vulpine – the mythical, fox-like monsters who live below ground, emerging at night to snatch 'imperfect' babies and children. Because Ora knows that disability and illness have no place in her world. To succeed is to be genetically ‘perfect’, just like her best friend Casta and his family.
Then, one day, Casta’s baby sister disappears. And Ora’s mother reveals a long-buried secret: Ora herself has a genetic illness that affects her lungs... And she's about to be found out.
Desperate for answers and sanctuary, Ora decides to do the unthinkable and seek out the fabled Vulpine. And below the earth, she discovers a hidden world that turns everything she has been taught upside-down...
Polly Crosby grew up on the Suffolk coast, and now lives with her husband and son in the heart of Norfolk. Alongside her Young Adult fiction, Polly also writes gothic historical mysteries for adults.
