Why Daisy set the Hermit on Fire

By Ms Dini Armstrong

On the rugged shores of a remote Scottish loch, Daisy drifts between reality and imagination. Her only companion is a Mackie, a sharp-tongued mackerel who may or may not exist.
When Daisy stumbles upon a hermit deep in the woods, their uneasy connection spirals into obsession, violence, and eventually, fire. What begins as a chance encounter unfurls into a haunting exploration of loneliness, memory, and the dangerous places our minds can take us.
'Why Daisy set the Hermit on Fire' blends psychological suspense with magical realism and a very dark sense of humour.
