Father wants sixteen-year-old Castley and her five siblings to hide from the world. Living in a falling-down house deep in the woods, he wants to bury their secrets where no one will ever find them.
Father says they are destined to be together forever. In heaven. Father says the sooner they get there, the better.
But Castley wants to be normal. She wants to kiss boys and wear jean shorts.
CASTLEY WANTS TO LIVE.
Read an extract from In the Dark, in the Woods by Eliza Wass
Maybe that was why Mortimer stopped, leaning against the trunk of a tree so one of my stars hung over his shoulder. Mortimer had huge lips; they were his only beautiful assets swollen and pouty and berry-coloured. He took his top lip in his fingers and rolled it up like a curtain, and inside a red bulb burned, hot and painful-looking.
Oh my God. What happened? Did Father?
He released his lip. No, Father didn't do it to me, you idiot. But I'm scared as sh*t he's gonna find out.?
What is it like, herpes? I said. He shoved himself off the tree and plunged ahead through the woods. Oh my God. Did you catch it from somebody? He actually growled, so I tried to collect my cool. Of all my brothers and sisters, Mortimer was the last one I would ever expect to kiss someone. Not just because of the way he looked, but because he actively hated pretty much everyone. Oh my God! Who did you kiss?
