The Creeping
The Creeping, Alexandra Sirowy's debut novel, may seem to be the story you have heard only a thousand times before but its sheer intricacies are deceptive even to the most watchful eyes. It follows the life of seventeen-year-old Stella who has a dark past. Eleven years ago, Stella and her red-haired friend, Jeannie went strawberry picking- only Stella returned, having no recollection of what happened. And ever since, she has been looked upon as either the victim or the devil herself for having survived the unknown.
