"A deliciously devious new book" -- People
"Her bold approach to storytelling peels back the layers of Victorian society, exposing its contradictions, power struggles, and hidden darkness. Through her unapologetic portrayal of a cold-blooded female psychopath, Feito questions whether societal pressures and repression can truly explain such violent behavior—or if, perhaps, the madness runs much deeper." -- Eric Akoto - Litro Magazine
"A twisted, bloodthirsty governess celebrates Christmas with her new employers. Where ironic horror and horrific irony meet, this unbridled madhouse of a novel dazzles like a bloody jewel." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Riotous, devilishly clever, and deliciously appalling, Victorian Psycho is flat-out brilliant. No one is spared (not even us) from Winifred’s wrathful whims while Virginia Feito deftly presents the case that Winifred is being quite reasonable. Long live Winifred! She is the antihero this, or any other, century deserves." -- Paul Tremblay, New York Times best-selling author of Horror Movie and A Head Full of Ghosts
"Victorian Psycho is that rare, extraordinary book that both delivers and completely confounds all your expectations. . . . By drawing from the roots of the gothic, Virginia Feito seems to have invented an entirely new kind of storytelling. From the first to the last line, this novel is nothing less than a masterpiece." -- Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street
"Relentlessly moody, in the best possible way, Victorian Psycho asks how anyone could live sanely in a time so systemically cruel. Atmospheric, funny, bloody as hell—I finished it in one sitting." -- Ainslie Hogarth, author of Motherthing and Normal Women
