So fresh and original, I’ll bet you haven’t read anything like this before. I’d kill to read another of Ms Summers books, but I’d be terrified to have dinner with her!

What is this book about?

One of Vanity Fair's Books That Will Get You Through This Winter
“One of the most uniquely fun and campily gory books in my recent memory... A Certain Hunger has the voice of a hard-boiled detective novel, as if metaphor-happy Raymond Chandler handed the reins over to the sexed-up femme fatale and really let her fly." ―The New York Times

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Small Gods

❤️ loved this book because...

'Deftly weaves themes of forgiveness, belief and spiritual regeneration' - The Times
