Cackle by Rachel Harrison is a darkly funny and frightening novel that explores themes of desire, friendship, and the allure of the supernatural. Annie, after being unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend, seeks a fresh start by accepting a teaching position in a small village upstate. The picturesque town seems perfect, but there’s an odd spider infestation in her dreamy new apartment.
Then she meets Sophie—an uncanny, ageless woman who takes a special interest in Annie. Sophie encourages Annie to stop apologizing and start living for herself. As Annie gravitates toward the self-possessed Sophie, she discovers that there’s more to Sophie than meets the eye.
