Furies: Stories of the wicked, wild and untamed - feminist tales from 16 bestselling, award-winning authors is a revolutionary anthology that dares to challenge the status quo and ignite your imagination. Curated with care, this compelling collection features the voices of sixteen acclaimed writers, each weaving powerful narratives that reclaim and redefine femininity in today’s world.
Furies is not just a book; it's an exploration of what it means to be a woman in a complex society. With stories that are as fierce as they are fearless, this anthology blazes a trail through feminist literature, showcasing the strength, complexity, and resilience of women.
In this anthology, you'll discover:
Critics have celebrated Furies as “wonderful... all killer, no filler” (Red Magazine) and “dazzling stories, as inventive as they are inspiring” (Daily Mirror). Each story transforms traditional narratives—once used to define and decry women—like Banshee, Dragon, and She-Devil, giving them new life and meaning.
Dive into this vibrant cauldron of creativity and celebrate the fierce power of storytelling with Furies.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
