"[A] savage thriller... Victorian Psycho offers a wickedly subversive look at a woman on the verge of a murderous rampage." --Shannon Carlin, TIME
"The bloody belle of the 2025 literary ball" (Oprah Daily), Victorian Psycho unleashed an iconic new antihero on us all.
Brief description: Virginia Feito, raised in Madrid and Paris, studied English and drama at Queen Mary University of London and advertising at Miami Ad School. She writes regularly for Vanity Fair Spain and is the author of the acclaimed Mrs. March.
Review Quotes: [Victorian Psycho] lives up to its literary namesakes, delivering unrelenting gore and shock in the vein of those earlier novels by Bret Easton Ellis and Robert Bloch.... Feito's 2021 debut novel, Mrs. March, revealed her skill for eking out dread and terror from the mundane life of a woman past her prime.... What's consistent between the books is Feito's macabre sense of humor. [Feito] has moved on from the pitiably self-conscious Mrs. March to the defiant, hallucinatory confidence of Winifred Notty: both deliciously unlikable in their own ways, both a pleasure to root for in their misguided travails.--Jac Jemc "New York Times Book Review"
