Description
'Savage, witty, gory, heartfelt, utterly relatable rage fantasy and a helluva good time. Miranda July meets Stephen King' Sunday Times bestseller Lauren Beukes
Like most women, 46-year old hyper-competent tech CEO Ellie's already juggling too much. She's got a promotion coming up and it's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time, finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon.
Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.
Suddenly the troubles in her life – hot flushes, thankless family, spiralling to-do list, oblivious husband, the w*nker promoted above her at work – seem almost… bite-size.
Outrageous, witty and wonderfully feral, in her adult debut Sam Beckbessinger explores female ferocity in modern urban (mid)life with a literary howl that will leave you transformed.

Savage, witty, gory, heartfelt, utterly relatable rage fantasy and a helluva good time. Miranda July meets Stephen King
Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls
-
Bitingly funny, sharply observed, simmering with justified rage and buried wildness - a cathartic, necessary read
Catriona Silvey, author of Meet Me in Another Life
-
Witty, thrilling, and oh so righteously FERAL. Sam Beckbessinger's command of voice and character is superb. Make a to-do list and be sure to put this book at the top of it
Nat Cassidy, bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary
-
Rollicking, unexpected and utterly hilarious...a feminist satire-cum-werewolf horror that is full of sharply observed, taboo-breaking moments
Observer

A fun and fierce look at womanhood and all the ways we hold back our rage. I laughed, cried and felt vindicated. Superb
