A dark, riveting literary debut about cults, transgression and female rage, for fans of Eliza Clark, Colin Walsh, Emma Cline and anyone who enjoyed YELLOWJACKETS

Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies

Lara Williams, author of Supper Club
'A modern-day Dionysian cult of women in the woods - haunting and exhilarating'
Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
'Emma Cline's The Girls meets Lord of the Flies . . . compelling, cultish and utterly feral'

______
They thought they knew everything about us. The kind of women we were.
Iris is adrift when she meets the beguiling Hazel, who lives on a women's commune. As she is drawn into commune life, Iris is soon seduced by the possibility of a new start away from a world of men who have only let her down. At Breach House the women are free to live and eat abundantly, to be loud and dirty, all whilst under the leadership of their gargantuan matriarch, Blythe.
But is Breach House truly the haven it seems? And just how much can Iris trust her new family? When an unforgivable transgression threatens the commune's existence, Iris and the other women find themselves hurtling towards an act of devastating violence.
Fierce and unapologetic, Spoilt Creatures is an intoxicating debut that pulls back the skin of the patriarchy and examines the female rage that lies beneath.

An intimate and intense tale of how a safe haven can become a dangerous place, told with much insight and humanity

A powerful, angry, dark and compelling feminist debut novel. It pulls you in to the visceral world of the women in the commune and it shocks and moves you. Beautifully written

Earthy and visceral, Spoilt Creatures is a depiction of female physicality unlike any I've read before
