'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.

“It is early fall, the cold is beginning to descend, and in three months everyone in this house will be dead.”
Forget about Patrick Bateman, here comes Ms. Notty! A psychopathic governess, who is hired to watch over the children of the Pounds' household, a rich and entitled family. Told from Ms. Nottys perspective, the reader is drawn into a tale of ever growing insanity and violence. Although Ms. Nottys behavior is definitely weird - let alone her thoughts - the conduct and world view of her employers is equally disturbing. Virginia Feito develops a kind of social reckoning of the victorian era, where class struggles and downright insane but accepted world views collide with an actually psychotic mind. The novel does not hold back on weird, disturbing and disgusting imagery, but is also surprisingly hilarious. Historic Horror has probably never been as dark and funny. -

crazy, victorian and gory
What if your Governess were actually crazy? Victorian Psycho holds nothing back, featuring gory scenes that made my stomach lurch, my eyes water and my brain go „EWW. What happens next?!“ This book is brimming with deviousness, gore, and blood! -

Merry bloody Christmas!
If you’re looking for a gory, unhinged and incredibly graphic historical horror, this is the book for you! The exceptionally well-done dark humor had me giggling at the most disturbing scenes, as Winifred descended deeper and deeper into madness. The ending? Completely deranged. Loved it.
