Milk, Bread, Teeth

‘Gluttonous, audacious and altogether a delectable work of genius. Amy Twigg is the new harbinger of horror’ LUCY ROSE, author of The Lamb
‘I devoured this book and it devoured me right back. Compulsive. Amy Twigg is a rare talent’ JENNIE GODFREY, author of The List of Suspicious Things and The Barbeque at No. 9
‘A ravenous, transgressive novel that sinks its teeth into class, loneliness and the impossible demands we make of women’s bodies. Grotesque, hypnotic and wickedly intelligent, it left me desperate for one more bite. Amy Twigg is one of the most exciting new voices in literary horror’ SETH INSUA, author of Human, Animal and Man and Wife
‘I loved this queasy, darkly funny, downward spiral of a novel that explores how a woman’s desire to be taken seriously goes to extreme lengths. Plagued by an insatiable hunger, Lena’s tastes go from hearty to disgusting to depraved and I lapped it all up. Can I have some more? Amy Twigg is honing her craft with this impeccable body horror that consumes you. I can’t wait to see what’s next’ EMMA VAN STRAATEN, author of This Immaculate Body
‘Amy Twigg writes the body in all its conflicting intricacies: it is a site of horror and desire, of pleasure and pain, of sickness and health. Milk, Bread, Teeth will nourish the most abject parts of yourself’ LARA WILLIAMS, author of The Odyssey and Supper Club
‘Milk, Bread, Teeth is stare-at-a-wall levels of moving and Twigg is a stratospheric talent. Everyone needs to buckle up and take a big bite of this engrossing and gross novel that puts desperate words to the experience of chronic illness and medical neglect. I’m jealous of every single reader who gets to live it for the first time’ CHARLOTTE PARADISE, author of Overspill
‘Amy Twigg is a truly rare talent, and Milk, Bread, Teeth had me in a chokehold from start to finish - such a vivid and harrowing portrait of loneliness and bodily revolt. Gut-churning, all-consuming, and thoroughly brilliant’ GRÁINNE O’HARE, author of Thirst Trap
