Publisher Description
"This is gory and brutal and beautiful and painful and terrifying and a pure delight." —Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author
“Leede’s words and narrator Sosie Bacon’s voice imbue Maeve with thought-provoking realism and earnestness, even as her violent acts become more savagely creative.” - Library Journal
A provocative debut that is both a blood-soaked love letter to Los Angeles and a gleeful send-up to iconic horror villains, Maeve Fly will thrill fans of My Heart is a Chainsaw and Caroline Kepnes’ You series.
By day, Maeve Fly works at the happiest place in the world as every child’s favorite ice princess.
By the neon night glow of the Sunset Strip, Maeve haunts the dive bars with a drink in one hand and a book in the other, imitating her misanthropic literary heroes.
But when Gideon Green - her best friend’s brother - moves to town, he awakens something dangerous within her, and the world she knows suddenly shifts beneath her feet.
Untethered, Maeve ditches her discontented act and tries on a new persona. A bolder, bloodier one, inspired by the pages of American Psycho. Step aside Patrick Bateman, it’s Maeve’s turn with the knife.
"An apocalyptic Anaheim Psycho." —Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.
Customer Reviews
Disappointed
There’s so much hype around this book but it fell flat for me. I was bored. When FINALLY something happened it was totally lackluster. I wouldn’t recommend it.
More Relatable to a Different Audience
So much sex - so little horror. While the promise of an American Psycho style story sits on the cover of this novel, the pages hold a grand abundance lust, kink, and ‘park life’, with but a sprinkling of murder, brutality, and primal exploration. The style of writing, the story itself, and the characters therein, are intricately crafted with a specific audience in mind, and would likely be far more well received by said audience.
The reader does a really nice job with this tale, however, and is smooth with great annunciation. While the story itself did little to nothing for me, the reading itself was certainly a highlight.
