«The Owl Killers» is the historical gothic novel by Karen Maitland, published by Penguin in paperback (576 pages, in English).
In 1321 England, an isolated village suffers under the rule of the Owl Masters, a pagan regime based on fear. The arrival of religious women disrupts the order: their crops thrive and their livestock survive the plague, provoking jealousy and accusations of witchcraft and heresy. Their faith will be their defense against the spreading darkness.
The novel was nominated for the Shirley Jackson Award in 2009. Karen Maitland is also the author of Company of Liars.
For readers of historical and gothic fiction who appreciate mystery, witchcraft, and an oppressive medieval setting.
