MY BOOKS

"This gorgeous book will enthrall you like a spell that you cannot nor will you wish to escape. An extraordinary, hallucinatory accomplishment." 
​—Karen Joy Fowler

A stunning reimagining of Bluebeard—one of the most mythologized serial killers—twisted into a modern tale of toxic masculinity, a feminist sermon, and a folktale for the twenty-first century.
Sour Cherry confronts age-old systems of gender and power, long-held excuses made for bad men, and the complicated reasons we stay captive to the monsters we love. 
Out now from Tin House (North America) and Wildfire (UK, Europe, and Commonwealth). 

See praise for Sour Cherry.

My next book will be published by Tin House in 2028! Anna Dreams of a Dead Revolutionary, about a filmmaker attempting to memorialize his time as a transgender political rebel in 1960s Greece. When people ask, I say it's like Sour Cherry, except the haunted house is Greece and Bluebeard is fascism.
