Bloodfire, Baby
Autor Eirinie Carsonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2026
Sofia is losing her grip.
She planned to be the perfect mother, and nothing like her own, who raised her to fear the end of the world was approaching.
When Sofia’s husband leaves for an extended work trip and she is left with their three-week old daughter, it’s not long before loneliness and anxiety manifest into something else. Sofia descends into paranoia, and sleep-deprived madness.
She is from a long line of women, all the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter. Her bloodline dates back to 1700s colonised Jamaica. Is that where the source of her haunting lies? Who is this shadow that stalks her in the night? And the face that appears beside her own in the mirror?
There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do, Sofia realises, to protect her new baby girl from these threats.
Even bloody violence.
A maternal gothic story of the fourth trimester, of heritage and class, of the things our mothers pass along to us, and the types of mothers people set out to be versus the ones they actually become.
‘Bloodfire, Baby arrives kicking and screaming with flames in its hair and lightning in its hands as it heralds a new powerful literary voice being born. Raw, honest, mysterious, and ultimately courageous’ S. A. COSBY
‘A haunting, honest work of art… Absolutely beautiful’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH
‘A ferocious, hypnotic descent that burrows under your skin and refuses to let go. A fever dream, a psychological thriller, and a whip-smart commentary on modern motherhood’ CHELSEA BIEKER

Eirinie Carson’s Bloodfire, Baby arrives kicking and screaming with flames in its hair and lightning in its hands as it heralds a new powerful literary voice being born. Raw, honest, mysterious, and ultimately courageous, Bloodfire, Baby is the book that will peel away your misconceptions and lay bare the power and the beauty of the feminine mystique. Not to be missed.
A haunting, honest work of art, Carson has made a wonder. In her debut novel, scapel-sharp sentences cut into life in ways you can't forget. Here we are reminded of motherhood as the nexus of history and legacy and the psychological weight required to exist in a body. An absolutely beautiful novel.
A ferocious, hypnotic descent that burrows under your skin and refuses to let go. A fever dream, a psychological thriller, and a whip-smart commentary on modern motherhood, Bloodfire, Baby is destined to be a novel people press into each other’s hands, whispering, "You have to read this."
The most nuanced examination of postpartum I have ever read, Bloodfire, Baby is a novel as propulsive as it is illuminating. The expert pacing—along with the novel’s exquisite language, depth, and scope—announces Eirinie Carson as a refreshing and essential new voice in contemporary fiction.
A stunning feat of artistry – Bloodfire, Baby is a searing meditation on contemporary motherhood, written with the precision of a surgeon. Carson writes with unflinching honesty, capturing both the beauty and the burden of memory and the delicate unraveling of family myth.
Bloodfire, Baby is a novel of crackling honesty, daring, and vigor – a transformative ride written in neon from the first page to the last. Yes, only a mother could create this haunting, mighty book, but everyone must read it.
