“American Psycho meets A Certain Hunger meets The Turn of the Screw in this expertly-paced horror novel about a sociopathic Victorian governess. With powerful prose and extraordinary economy of language, no word is wasted as Virginia Feito disgusts and entertains in equal measure. At turns gruesome, scathing, and hilarious, Victorian Psycho is a breath of fresh air. ”

“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. ”

“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. ”

Bookseller recommendation

“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.”
