Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito

Hilarious and disgusting. This book does exactly what the title promises. Just follow the blood trails and you’ll be taken on a wild ride. A bit of The Housemaid, with flashes that echo Chuck Palahniuk, it’s a story for readers with a strong stomach and a taste for the ick. Virginia Feito unleashes a new antihero in Winifred Notty, a governess whose patience runs darkly thin within the twisted walls of Ensor House. Gothic, sardonic, and brimming with vengeance, Victorian Psycho is a wicked treat for October nights.
