Critics Review

I was enticed from the first line – Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of My Sister, the Serial KillerAn outstanding debut… Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original * New York Times *Darkly funny – Fern Brady, author of Strong Female CharacterVisceral, disgusting, glorious. I love this book and every character in it. Monika Kim’s sentences are superb, and I was riveted and nauseated from the very first page – CJ Leede, author of Maeve FlyAn inventive, terrifying tale of misogyny, Asian fetishisation, and cannibalism * TIME *Obsessive, grotesque and never predictable, this is a horror debut to sink your teeth into – Emily M. Danforth, author of The Miseducation of Cameron PostSmartly written…A fun and nasty debut with real edge to it. A promising calling card from a writer to watch * Big Issue *Utterly fantastic, female revenge horror at its finest. Perfect for readers of Tender is the Flesh * Waterstones *Monika Kim has written a novel that every library needs to own * Library Journal *A new voice in horror… Gripping * Booklist *Incredibly readable… Kim has delivered an entertaining and gruesome romp on female rage * ABC *
