Critics Review
Savage, witty, gory, heartfelt, utterly relatable rage fantasy and a helluva good time. Miranda July meets Stephen King – Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls
A modern feminist classic * Sunday Time Style *
Bitingly funny, sharply observed, simmering with justified rage and buried wildness - a cathartic, necessary read – Catriona Silvey, author of Meet Me in Another Life
Rollicking, unexpected and utterly hilarious…a feminist satire-cum-werewolf horror that is full of sharply observed, taboo-breaking moments * Observer *
Witty, thrilling, and oh so righteously FERAL. Sam Beckbessinger’s command of voice and character is superb. Make a to-do list and be sure to put this book at the top of it – Nat Cassidy, bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary
Thrillingly gory and radical * RED Magazine *
A fun and fierce look at womanhood and all the ways we hold back our rage. I laughed, cried and felt vindicated. Superb – Shubnum Khan
We can all relate * Daily Mail *
