“Psycho indeed! Winifred Notty arrives as governess with revenge on her mind and blood on her hands. Lots of blood. Even better than the story is the narrator of the audio version. Her delivery is...gentle and understated -- the perfect juxtaposition to the story. ”

“Grotesque, wildly funny, and utterly weird, this novel will have you hooked from the very beginning as the new governess enters the dysfunctional halls of Ensor's House. What's her secret? Does she even know? Sometimes campy, mostly terrifying and gory, Feito takes the gothic horror genre and tames it like a misbehaving charge. ”

“I chuckled and gasped my way through this Victorian nightmare. Very twisted, very dark, and increasingly gory, blended well with the author's signature fine-but -razor-sharp humor and compassion for the heroine's plight, this horror novel exposes the dark, hidden sides, and outrageous injustices, of the Victorian society.”

Bookseller recommendation

“What if American Psycho took place in Victorian England and centered feminine rage? Spend a few hundred pages with Winifred, the new governess of the Pounds House. The violent thoughts, off-color jokes, and tales of poisoning children are all told with the same languid delivery that piques the readers interest for what horrors are to come; it's clear Winifred is up to something. Filled with ghastly imagery, hypnotic foreboding, and The Office Jim-esque nods to the audience, Victorian Psycho delivers its title with with a deft force not to be missed.”
