NOW A MAJOR FILM

'It's a new literary genre... Supernatural horror meets bedroom politics' Sunday Times

'If you enjoyed Cat Person, this is for you’ Evening Standard

These are stories of women's lives now. They also happen to be horror stories. In some, women endure the horror. In others, they inflict it.

Here are women at work, at home, on dates, at the doctor's, with their families and with their friends. Here are women grappling with desire, punishment, guilt and anger. These are stories to make you feel fascinated but repelled, scared but delighted, revolted but aroused.
