Seventeen-year-old Fran is plagued by monsters that leach out from folklore and legend and invade her thoughts and dreams. We meet her at the dog-end of the summer holidays, in limbo between GCSEs and A levels, and at a crossroads between grief and recovery after the death of her mother. Commuting between her suburban past when her mother was alive, and the time-warped present of her Nana’s council flat, Fran begins to claim her grief back from the monsters and live with it in the everyday.
