Overview
Synopsis

Step aside Patrick Bateman, it’s Maeve’s turn with the knife…

Maeve lives a double life between public-facing innocence and private nihilism. As she becomes increasingly unhinged, she indulges in violent and hedonistic behaviour.

A must-read for fans of Nightcrawler and Drive.

All Nightmare Nook Books are selected by our chief Book Ghoul, Cat. Here’s why Maeve Fly appealed:

“Female rage? Sign me up! Who doesn’t love a psychological unravelling under neon lights? Maeve Fly is one of those truly character-driven horrors that quite frankly needs adapting into a movie ASAP.”

Condition:

Brand new and ready to scare.

Synopsis

A provocative, blood-soaked slasher about unsung villainesses – a nightmarish blend of Eric LaRocca meets American Psycho.

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.
