Short stories of myths, monsters and mothers.
THE NAMING OF MOTHS invites readers on a journey through a tapestry of narratives that span time, culture, and the depths of the human experience. Fells' dark and mesmerising debut grapples with themes of motherhood, memory, and the monstrous, set within of magical realism and mythical retellings.

EARLY PRAISE for The Naming of Moths
Dark, sensual, often disquieting yet beautiful, these stories never fail to surprise. With an expert hand, Fells leads us beyond the fairytale to expose hearts that heal in the dark. A must read.
~ Angela Readman, author of The Girls are Pretty Crocodiles
These stories will surprise, enthral, entertain and never disappoint. A collection that is subtle, full of incisive observation and darkly comic at times. All of life is here, in its pathos, humour and richness.
~ Reshma Ruia
I was expecting to enjoy The Naming of Moths as I have been reading Tracy Fells’ short fiction for many years, but experiencing her stories together in one collection has still managed to take my breath away – the depth and scope of these beautifully crafted stories is a delight.
~ Amanda Huggins, author of An Unfamiliar Landscape and talk to me about when we were perfect
An irreverent monster mash-up novella-in-flash with heart.
Hairy on the Inside is sparklingly clever, very funny, poignant sometimes and sharp as a wolf’s incisors.
~ Vanessa Gebbie
A funny and irreverent monster mash-up, with love in the mix, too, and a serious message about how to be the real you.
