About the Book

Isabel doesn't speak to people, but she speaks to animals all the time. She knows what forces are at work on the Northumberland moors but she doesn't understand them. And what can she do? She's only seven. Alison Rigg, rising star of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, is in Northumberland to investigate reports of BSE where no BSE should be. Now her body has been found lying by a stream. She is still alive but her soul has fled. A dark force that no-one dares name is on the move, reaching into the lives of this small community and tearing it apart. Gus Smith's dark fantasy mixes the look and feel, the light and air of the Northumberland moors with a force of evil that hits you like a slap in the face. He tells his story with the rhythm and plausibility of a folk tale.

About the Author :
Gus Smith comes from a Scots family, though he was born and brought up in England. He now lives on the Isle of Arran, with four generations of the family. He spent many years smallholding and renovating ancient farm houses in the Yorkshire Pennines, with his wife Tessa, where they raised cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry - and six children. As well as this, Gus found time to be an English teacher, and a director (eventually Chair) of the Ecology Building Society. He has also worked with school refusers and adults with learning difficulties, and as a folk musician (where he also honed his story-telling skills) and a market researcher. Most of Gus's writing is historic or contemporary fantasy, stories set in real times and places, where weird and surprising things happen. He has often been told it can be difficult to tell what is historic and traditional and what is dredged up from the depths of his own murky imagination.

Review :
"The grey hills of Northumberland are pervaded by ancient evil and modern sickness in Gus Smith's remarkable novel of occult and psychological horror, Feather and Bone. A strong sense of place and some fascinatingly complex characters are accompanied by a worldly knowledge of everything from the BSE crisis to the workings of the tabloid press. Convincingly, Smith shows us ultimate evil in conflict with flawed, basically good characters, and makes us believe in both." - Roz Kaveney
