"A brilliant, unsettling, gothic take on a Greek tragedy." - i-D; "Gothic, strange, provocative, but also incredibly moving and absolutely unforgettable, a powerful debut from a truly original new voice." - Cosmopolitan; "Bizarre and strangely beautiful . . . Williams's lyrical, visceral prose brilliantly sustains her nightmarish vision . . . bold and demented." - Publishers Weekly; "[A] grim and strange, but utterly unique, literary and gothic debut . . . This is a gripping look at humanity's treatment of women and questions whether human survival at all costs is worth it." - Booklist; "Williams compiles her images in breathless, smothering drifts that mimic both the oppressive landscape and the gauzy unreliability of the main characters' perceptions with virtuosic intensity . . . Williams' linguistic project is akin to the early work of Cormac McCarthy." - Kirkus
