Finn Longman is only here occasionally @finnlongman.com · 04/08/2026

COVER REVEAL! My next novel, The Animals We Became, retells the medieval Welsh tale 'Math fab Mathonwy'. It's a book about gender, trauma, and compulsory heterosexuality expressed through non-consensual animal transformations and some deeply unreliable narration... finnlongman.com/books/the-an...

The cover of THE ANIMALS WE BECAME by Finn Longman, featuring an illustration of an owl emerging from flowers and foliage against a starry backdrop. Tree trunks on either side are carved with knotwork forming the shapes of boar, deer, and wolves.
