The Naming of Moths

Tracy Fells
4.31/5 (39 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Stories of myths, mothers and monsters.

THE NAMING OF MOTHS features stories of magical realism, myths and legends re-imagined, where all the characters are undergoing transformation or facing a pivotal moment of change in their lives. People and animals interchange their shapes. Story landscapes flit from fairy-tale woods to urban homes. Here love, hope and kindness weave between the realities of man’s endless talent for cruelty.



"The depth and scope of these beautifully crafted stories is a delight. The writing is totally immersive and never misses a beat. These stories transport us to a myriad of places, and whether we find ourselves in the heat and dust of the Outback, in suburban Britain or Mexico City, Fells’ fictional worlds always feel real. This is a writer who understands our mortal frailties, and has a deep understanding of the complexities of the human condition. Her stories are crammed with diverse characters and unforgettable journeys, stuffed with monsters and myths, humour and playfulness – and brimming with surprises. These are tales to be savoured, and they will stay with the reader long after the last line. A wonderful collection, sprinkled with magic – I loved it!" - Amanda Huggins, author of An Unfamiliar Landscape and talk to me about when we were perfect

"A superb debut, The Naming of Moths explores monsters, mothers and myths, and the spaces where they cross over. Dark, sensual, often disquieting yet beautiful, these stories never fail to surprise. With an expert hand, Fells leads us beyond the fairytale to expose hearts that heal in the dark. A must read." - Angela Readman, author of The Girls are Pretty Crocodiles


"These stories will surprise, enthral, entertain and never disappoint. A collection that is subtle, full of incisive observation and darkly comic at times. All of life is here, in its pathos, humour and richness." - Reshma Ruia
