In Fabric is a haunting ghost story set against the backdrop of a busy winter sales period in a department store and follows the life of a cursed dress as it passes from person to person, with devastating consequences.
A lonely woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), recently separated from her husband, visits a bewitching London department store in search of a dress that will transform her life. She’s fitted with a perfectly flattering, artery-red gown—which, in time, will come to unleash a malevolent curse and unstoppable evil, threatening everyone who comes into its path.
“FEW PEOPLE COULD GET AWAY WITH MAKING A HAUNTED COSTUME SEEM CHILLING WITHOUT BEING KITSCH, OR TURN RIDICULOUSLY VERBOSE RETAIL-SPEAK INTO SOMETHING BOTH SIDESPLITTING AND UNNERVING”
- David Fear, Rolling Stone
“STRICKLAND SUFFUSES IN FABRIC WITH INTENSE WHISPERS AND A CELEBRATION OF THE BEAUTIFULLY TWISTED.”
- Elizabeth Metzger, NPR
“A TALE OF A KILLER DRESS, IN FABRIC IS A DAZZINGLY STYLISH AFFAIR THAT’S A CUT ABOVE THE REST. SAY YES
