A fearsomely dark, incantatory new dystopia set in a post-apocalyptic convent from the author of viral sensation Tender is the Flesh
$33.00
The queen of Latin American literary horror has done it again! Bazterrica's highly anticipated new novel is every bit as disturbing as 'Tender Is the Flesh'. This dark dystopia gets more brutal with every page, but you won't be able to put it down. Set in a convent run by a wicked religious cult known as the Superior Sisters, the Unworthy are forced into cruel acts in order to become "Enlightened". A gripping nightmare told through a feminist lens. Not for the squeamish.
