Autumn After Dark Collection
Autumn is here — but we’re doing it a little differently.
The Autumn After Dark Collection is made for readers who want cosy season with a darker edge: addictive books, moody autumn vibes, beautiful bookish extras and a few surprises you won’t see coming.
Think late-night reading, candles burning, rain outside, morally grey men, dangerous obsessions and the kind of stories you probably shouldn’t be reading in public.
Each box has been carefully put together to feel special, indulgent and beautifully presented, with three different options depending on just how far you want to take your autumn reading experience.
Choose from Temptation, Obsession or Possession — with more books, more extras and darker surprises as you move through the collection.
These are limited seasonal boxes, and once each allocation is gone, it won’t be restocked.
Pre-order now. Expected dispatch from 18 September.
