'Jane Eyre meets American Psycho. Gloriously outrageous, sensationally unhinged' SUNDAY TIMES
‘Simmering with rage, propulsive and laugh-out-loud funny' CATRIONA WARD
'Weird and wonderful' LUCY MANGAN, GUARDIAN
Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect Victorian governess. She’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But the longer Winifred spends within the estate’s dreary confines and the more she learns of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family, the more trouble she has sticking to her plan.
Whether creeping across the moonlit lawns in her undergarments or gently tormenting the house staff, Winifred struggles at every turn to stifle the horrid compulsions of her past until her chillingly dark imagination breaches the feeble boundary of reality on Christmas morning. Wielding her signature sardonic wit and a penchant for the gorgeously macabre, Virginia Feito returns with a vengeance in Victorian Psycho.

‘So weird and wonderful I am already adding it to my recommendations at the end of this year’ Lucy Mangan, Guardian

‘Simmering with rage, propulsive and laugh-out-loud funny, this novel is nothing less than a masterpiece’ Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street
'The literary lovechild of Jane Eyre and American Psycho. Murderous literary fun.' The Times
'I am OBSESSED. A gleeful, gory pastiche shot through with pitch-black humour.' Kirsty Logan

'Brutal, bold, and brilliantly macabre. A decadent delight for all lovers of the darkest Victorian gothic.' Essie Fox
‘Riotous, devilishly clever, and deliciously appalling, Victorian Psycho is flat out brilliant. Long live Winifred! She is the anti-hero this, or any other, century deserves’ Paul Tremblay
‘Relentlessly moody in the best possible way, Victorian Psycho asks how anyone could live sanely in a time so systemically cruel. Atmospheric, funny, bloody as hell, I finished it in one sitting’ Ainslie Hogarth
'Night-black and altogether delicious fun.' Paraic O'Donnell
'A wicked delight and a hilariously twisted tale, underlining the cruelty of Victorian society with a humourous deftness that is to be admired' Emma Hinds
