@ronnieturner8702.bsky.social As promised, Small Fires in sunny climates! @orendabooks.bsky.social

"If you love a dark and twisted folk tale style story, with an hint of horror and more than an echo of gothic mystery, then this could well be for you. Beautifully written, mesmerising and with a pulsing beat of tension from the very beginning, this is definitely recommended" #SmallFires

"Everything is underpinned by that gothic styling, the sense that the author is keeping a secret that stays just out of reach until the perfect moment. & a secret it is, the author employing some very canny misdirection to ensure that the finale, when it comes, is shocking & unexpected" #SmallFires

"Dark, twisted, creepy and atmospheric – exactly what you want from a good gothic thriller and exactly what Ronnie Turner has delivered with her latest novel, Small Fires." #SmallFires

Sitting down to chat and record an interview with the lovely @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social about her new novel Small Fires. How can someone so nice come up with something blurbed as ‘Like Stephen King on crack’? Listen to the interview soon to find out. But follow Ronnie now while you are here!

@jamesbluecat.bsky.social thanks for the RT James!

Fires burning in the sky... #SmallFires is out NOW! Available from all good bookshops and also online! If you enjoy folkloric storytelling, strange island communities and dark double-twists, you might enjoy this! #Folklore #GothicFiction #NewBooks

Love seeing Small Fires out in the wild! Thanks Amanda for this lovely shot 📸 Please do send me a photo if you spot some Small Fires burning out in the world! 🔥 #SmallFires

On today's blog tour for #SmallFires by @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social I have a chilling extract to share myreadingcorner.co.uk/2025/02/smal... Published by @orendabooks.bsky.social #booksky 💙📚 #GothicFiction #FolkHorror

This book is unsettling, but it offers more than an eerie atmosphere. It's well-written and its themes are thought-provoking. See my review of SMALL FIRES by @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social from @orendabooks.bsky.social: schatjesshelves.blogspot.com/2025/02/revi...

Check out this INCREDIBLE #Extract of @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social's hypnotic and chilling new #Gothic #Folklore #Horror, #SmallFires, out NOW in paperback, ebook and audiobook!

'The narrative alternates between two perspectives – that of Lily in first person and that of Silas in third person. Whenever there’s a reliance on first person narration, I always question whether the narrator is reliable' The chilling #SmallFires by @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social is out NOW!

'Imagery is used very purposefully [...] For instance, “The sun has not yet risen, so the bonfire is their sun, and it puts violence in the shadows and makes them all look like they have beasts inside their skins”' WHAT a quote! *CHILLS* #SmallFires @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social

Excellent event in Truro Waterstones last night, Jodie Matthews talking about her earthy and uncanny Cornish novel Meet Me at the Surface with @samkhorton.bsky.social. The bit about the poetics of pork scratchings was the best! Also picked up @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social's Small Fires, just out.

SUPERB review of @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social's #SmallFires 'Della and Lily Pedley, suspected of murdering their parents, flee Cornwall in southern England to an island in Scotland known only as The God-Forgotten. Strange events occur on the isolated island and people avoid travelling to it '

The island is very much a character in the novel. The opening sentence is “They say the Devil came here.” When the sisters arrive, Lily comments on the silence over the land and the dark mountain casting shadows; she even thinks “This land smells of death.” #SmallFires @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social

HIGH praise for @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social's #SmallFires 'With its constant sense of foreboding, this book is an unsettling read … but this book offers more than an eerie atmosphere. It is well-written and its themes are thought-provoking' OUT NOW!!

EXCEPTIONAL review of @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social's #SmallFires🔥 'I was hugely impressed by Ronnie Turner's previous gothic thriller, So Pretty but in Small Fires she takes everything up another level and this is an exceptional read' OUT NOW!

LOVE this review of @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social's #SmallFires🔥 'As Lily recalls the twisted games the sisters played as children and the disturbing stories Della recounted to her, it becomes clear that something dark has tainted them both' #BookSky #NewBooks #suspense

'…really about the power of stories and the atmospheric sense of place lends itself perfectly to this. The islanders believe the devil fell to the earth on the island and never left. They try to appease him but fear has impregnated the place like a poison.' #SmallFires @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social

WOW! 'An intricately plotted, multilayered novel which explores themes such as possession, jealousy and familial toxicity with piercing insight. As the novel progresses, the sense of foreboding becomes increasingly unsettling' #SmallFires @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social 🔥 #BookSky #suspense

How's THIS for a #bookrecommendation? 'This sinister, intriguing folk horror novel worms its way under your skin; Small Fires is a brilliant, compulsively haunting read which will stay with me. I very highly recommend it' #SmallFires @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social is OUT NOW!

Glorious review for #SmallFires on publication day!

"This sinister, intriguing folk horror novel worms its way under your skin; Small Fires is a brilliant, compulsively haunting read which will stay with me. I very highly recommend it." #SmallFires

"I was hugely impressed by Ronnie Turner's previous gothic thriller, So Pretty but in Small Fires she takes everything up another level and this is an exceptional read." #SmallFires

"Small Fires is an intricately plotted, multilayered novel which explores themes such as possession, jealousy and familial toxicity with piercing insight." #SmallFires

"In her superbly imagined, original legends, Ronnie Turner captures the brutally malevolent lyricism of old myths, fables and fairytales beautifully. However, the truly abhorrent deeds perpetrated aren't in these tales but in homes and against bodies." #SmallFires
