Gruesome in the best way, Victorian Psycho is a sharp, blood-soaked thriller that doesn’t hold back. The writing style is unique, with the main character frequently breaking the fourth wall—not in a cringy way, but in a way that makes the madness feel even more intimate. At first, it seems like there’s no real method to the chaos, but as the story unfolds, the reasoning behind it all becomes clear and I did not see it coming. With plenty of on-page violence and gore, this book is not for the faint of heart, but at just over 200 pages, it’s a quick, compulsive read. I couldn’t put it down.

Thanks to NetGalley and Liveright Publishing for this e-ARC that I chose to review.
