Little Eve

On New Year's Day, 1921, a horrifying scene unfolds on a remote Scottish island: seven mutilated bodies, members of a nature cult known as 'the Children,' are discovered within an ancient stone circle. The charismatic and sadistic 'adder' ruled this secluded community, which worshipped the Great Snake and practiced blood sacrifice. The sole survivor, Dinah, points the finger at Eve, who is presumed drowned while attempting an escape. However, as Eve's captivating account of her life within the cult, her forced foray into the outside world, and her unraveling faith intertwines with Dinah's perspective on the massacre's aftermath, a far more intricate and disturbing truth begins to emerge. Isolated on the Isle, Eve knows only the adder's macabre fictions until unexpected friendships challenge her worldview. This psychological gothic horror masterfully blurs the lines between victim and perpetrator, faith and delusion, leaving the reader to question who is truly innocent and what dark acts belief can inspire.
