Evil Genius
A Novel"[A] noir delight of a novel . . . . Evil Genius is deceptively light on its feet, skittering across the page to deliver its scorpion sting.” — New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "This surreal, darkly hilarious novel about desire and the agency of women is delightfully original." — People “[A] sharp (and brutally funny) book.” — Real Simple “Ottessa Moshfegh’s Eileen meets Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho meets Barbara Loden’s Wanda meets all kinds of queer feminist theory in the latest from Claire Oshetsky. . . . Against the backdrop of 1970s San Francisco, the fantasy gets a little too real for a 19-year-old daydreamer and phone company employee. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of humor in between the murder.” — Greta Rainbow, Bustle “A tightly calibrated psychological thriller that benefits from the subtlety of its language.” — Toronto Star “Masterful. . . A remarkable exploration of domestic abuse, coming-of-age, and the freedom to build our own lives.” — Booklist (starred review) “This turn-of-the-thumbscrews-tense novel upends noir conventions." — Los Angeles Times (“10 Best Books to Read in February”) "Deadpan and strange." — Vulture (“8 New Books to Read This February”) "Oshetsky blends noir sensibilities with their signature surrealism, effortlessly slipping between dark humor and unnerving sensuality. The result is thrilling." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “This dark, unconventional comedy is quirky, surprising, and sharp.” — Electric Literature “Darkly charming, highly original, and fiendishly clever.” — Kirkus (Starred Review) “With their fourth novel, Evil Genius, Claire Oshetsky ascends to the throne as the monarch of unreliable narrators. . . . Although Evil Genius is set in mid-’70s San Francisco, it harks back to a noir convention established by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett nearly a hundred years ago . . . . But Oshetsky twists expectations in a manner uniquely their own. They adroitly draw upon literary tra ditions without being bound by them, craft ing a singular and captivating blend of noir and surrealism.” — BookPage (starred review) "A deliciously twisted send-up of standard mystery fare." — Alta “Evil Genius is both wickedly dark and decidedly funny. . . . What could have been a straightforward satire of the confessional true-crime genre is actually much more profound . . . This is a fantastically entertaining portrait of an unforgettable character.” — Bookreporter “Oshetsky’s novel deftly rattles toward an inevitable collision course for its characters. Readers who enjoy noir plots injected with comedy will enjoy.” — Library Journal "An enthralling, sharply funny, and unsettling read about abuse, murder, and desecrated Barbie dolls. Clever, biting, and impossible to put down." — Emily Austin, author of Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead “In Evil Genius, Claire Oshetsky gives us the dark, brutal, and often hilarious voice of a character we see often, but so rarely get to hear from—the woman in a mid-20th century potboiler. Campy and exciting; surreal and sad. This is another stunner from a truly original writer.” — Ainslie Hogarth, author of Motherthing “Strange, savage, and so compelling, Evil Genius is a can't-stop-turning-the-pages story about murder and the phone company. Claire Oshetsky's singular voice brings Celia to crackling life, even as the people around her keep dropping dead.” — Julia Phillips, author of Bear and Disappearing Earth “Evil Genius will rip your lips in the best possible ways. This sly, understated, and disarmingly unhinged novel makes you love sharp Celia Dent as she spins deliriously out of control. Perfect for comic-horror girlies who read Moshfegh's Eileen and Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle and wanted more mayhem.” — Chelsea G. Summers, author of A Certain Hunger

Love Life of a Cheltenham Lady
“A devastating account of the sexual awakening of an English lady . . . An intense, fastidiously crafted and disturbing novel.” —Publishers Weekly “I’m happy [Brooke] wrote this book. The moments of startling observation, her granular descriptions of a blitzed internal world . . . If we can’t have enlightenment just yet, I’ll take the bracing experience of this novel and the singular visions of its author, a harrowing, howling report from the disintegrated self.” —Emma Cline, from the Foreword “Love Life of a Cheltenham Lady, Dinah Brooke’s 1971 novel about an Englishwoman’s sexual awakening, is wonderfully truthful about the delight and disgust of sex . . . Passages so visceral and explicit I found myself blushing on the train into the office . . . Brooke shows how ‘spicy fiction’ should be done.” —Ceci Browning, The Sunday Times “The best descriptions of the sheer illogicality and waywardness of sex and love that I have ever read.” —The Scotsman “[A] brilliant forgotten novelist.” —Claire Allfree, The Telegraph “Brooke has a limpid, assured style: cruel, yes, but not detached or apathetic . . . It’s frigid fun.” —Dan Piepenbring, Harper’s Magazine “You can only glory in her skill . . . Brooke [has] immoderate talents.” —M John Harrison, The Guardian Observer
