Tansy Bloom, Monster Hunter
Three months ago, following an argument with her mother over her sympathy for the monsters, twenty-eight-year-old Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So when Tansy’s ex-husband Rex turns up like a bad penny and asks for help with his latest monster hunt, Tansy reluctantly agrees to lend a hand.
Thanks to a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in rural Norfolk, but Tansy’s not convinced. For one thing, the mysterious black dog Rex is hunting is able to vanish into thin air. For another, everyone who’s encountered the black dog is dying in a series of freak accidents. Which is bad news for Tansy, who’s just come face to face with the creature herself ...
Featuring romantic subplots, and with a thread of deliciously dark humour running throughout (plus a cheeky grey heron named Herbert!), Tansy Bloom, Monster Hunter is a fun, fast-paced supernatural mystery inspired by real Norfolk folktales, ghost stories and urban legends.
An Audible Original, performed by Tanya Reynolds (star of Emma and Sex Education), Tansy Bloom was released exclusively on Audible and Amazon on 27th June 2024.
