It's time for a new kind of fairy tale: step into the queer folklore world of 'No Such Thing as Kelpies'.A blend of contemporary fantasy & fairy tale fragments both very old, and entirely new.
Award-winning writer and theatre-maker Elisabeth Flett is set to release her new first novel, No Such Thing As Kelpies, on November 22nd 2025.
The novel, self-published by Flett and following her acclaimed queer storytelling theatre show The Selkie’s Wife (★★★★★ - Edinburgh Reviews, 2024) is a boldly imaginative and unapologetically feminist re-imagining of Scottish tales both old and new. The genre of this novel is a mix of Folklore and contemporary Fantasy, the reader exploring both the imaginary world of Scottish folk myths and legends and the unexpectedly magical world of modern day Scotland itself.
This book covers themes such as LGBTQ+ lived experience and activism, queer found family, feminine rage and feminism, all of which are explored through the lens of Scottish folklore and Scottish cultural identity.
