Critics Review

Feral, unholy… Nightbitch is an incredible feat.

Outrageous, gritty, smart, fun – BONNIE GARMUS * Sunday Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry *Yoder’s voice is precise and funny, pitch-perfect… This is a terrifically alive and imaginative tale… an important contribution to the engagement with motherhood that rightly dominates contemporary feminism. – Lara Feigel * Observer *I’ve been waiting my whole adult life for a read like this. Nightbitch is truly imaginative, utterly original, brave and brilliant - I devoured it. * Elaine Feeney, author of AS YOU WERE *A deliciously untamed satire on mothering and collapsed ambition… Yoder’s descriptions of wild self-release are thrilling. – Catherine Taylor * Financial Times *Yoder’s commentary on the assorted neuroses of modern womanhood is graceful and coolly incisive… She infuses new life into the cold, furry flesh of the monstrous femme. – AK Blakemore * Guardian *For anyone raging at the patriarchy, Nightbitch is a brilliant read. * Stylist *Feral, unholy… Nightbitch is an incredible feat. * Carmen Maria Machado, author of IN THE DREAM HOUSE *Graceful, funny and unnerving as hell. * Jenny Offill, author of DEPT. OF SPECULATION and WEATHER *Joyfully demented… I tore through it. This is going to be massive. * Lisa McInerney, author of THE RULES OF REVELATION *I could not love a novel more than Rachel Yoder’s Nightbitch. It’s such a uniquely brilliant book… magical, dark, and funny. * Kevin Wilson, author of NOTHING TO SEE HERE *
