Persona

A trans woman discovers pornography of herself she has no memory of making, only to find herself led to an unimaginably deeper evil. "The year`s great work of literary horror." --Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt "Sharp and fearless." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The most stomach-churning, upsetting, thoroughly cursed queer book of the year." --Alison Rumfitt, author of Tell Me I`m Worthless and Brainwyrms A feral shut-in discovers a disturbing internet porn video of what seems to be herself. A seance of coked-up artists summons unearthly forces in a studio apartment. The staircase of an exurban marketing company descends endlessly beneath the earth. In Aoife Josie Clements` electric, nightmarish, intricately layered novel, the impossibility of goodness crowds in upon two young trans women barely surviving on sex work and zero-hours contracts. Below the familiar evils of capitalism and the bottomless depths of internet culture, a darker horror awaits. What curse follows these women? What are they escaping? What are they running towards?
