A review by madsmacmath
Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito
Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.
I picked it up at the library because I saw it recommended in Indie Next. I love an unhinged protagonist. High hopes for a quick, Saturday night one-seating-er.
The 30% that I read was giving me Murder Your Employer vibes.
I like gothic thrillers and I love weird girl fiction, but turns out, I don’t love them together.
I think I would’ve liked this if Winifred either 1. hadn’t been a cheeky protagonist, but a somber Victorian-era narrator (a la Fingersmith), or 2. been a cheeky protagonist in a more modern-era, Moshfegh setting.
