Lottie Mills

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Monstrum by Lottie Mills is a short story collection by the winner of the winner of the BBC Young Writers' Award 2020, exploring characters who have been rejected by society.

What We Say: “A beautiful, heart-wrenching and sometimes eerie collection of short stories, Lottie Mills’ fantastical fiction will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading it. From a tender tale of a father and daughter who build a life for themselves on a secluded beach – only to be agonisingly separated when their refuge is discovered by the outside world – to a circus master wanting to make a young girl the latest addition to his cabinet of curiosities while she plots to take her revenge, each story is remarkable. Capturing the experience of characters rejected by a society that cannot accept their difference, Monstrum is an essential read – and reveals Lottie Mills as one to watch” - Samantha de Haas

What They Say: “Haunting, luridly beautiful, and at times shockingly, deliciously gruesome” - Jenn Ashworth
