Book overview

"Simmering with rage, propulsive and laugh out loud funny" (Catriona Ward), Victorian Psycho hacked its way into the hearts of readers and critics alike. In this gruesome tale, Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess. But long, listless days spent within the estate's dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family, and Winifred struggles to stifle the violent compulsions of her past. Blissfully, Christmas is coming, and she has very special gifts planned for these dear, ugly souls...

One of the most horrifyingly beloved novels of the year, Victorian Psycho "lives up to its literary namesakes, delivering unrelenting gore and shock" (Jac Jemc, New York Times Book Review) and affirming Virginia Feito as a master of the darkest craft.
