What a sick, twisted, disgusting story and I mean that in the best way possible.
While reading Victorian Psycho, there were two different pieces of media it reminded me of and ironically both have Margaret Qualley in them. If you don’t know Victorian Psycho has already been picked up for a Hollywood movie staring Qualley, coincidence? Who knows. But it has some disgusting (positive) vibes similar to The Substance while also invoking a horror themed Poor Things quality. Either way I can see why this has already been picked up to be a movie as it’s a visual delight in the most gruesome way possible.
When Notty comes to a new household to be the governess for two spoiled children, murder and mayhem ensue and we are truly pulled along for the ride. It is an incredibly quick read but there were still multiple surprises along the way that had me muttering out loud “oh no” on many occasions. I love a good horror book, a gore fest, and a woman being an absolute sicko. There was nothing I didn’t like about this book and am honoured to have gotten an ARC for it.
