Critic reviews

I was enticed from the first line (Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of My Sister, the Serial Killer)
An outstanding debut... Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original
Darkly funny (Fern Brady, author of Strong Female Character)
Visceral, 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 Fly)
An inventive, terrifying tale of misogyny, Asian fetishisation, and cannibalism
Obsessive, grotesque and never predictable, this is a horror debut to sink your teeth into (Emily M. Danforth, author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post)
Smartly written...A fun and nasty debut with real edge to it. A promising calling card from a writer to watch
Utterly fantastic, female revenge horror at its finest. Perfect for readers of Tender is the Flesh
Monika Kim has written a novel that every library needs to own
A new voice in horror... Gripping
Incredibly readable... Kim has delivered an entertaining and gruesome romp on female rage
