‘Simply the most consistently inventive, brilliant, curious and creative writer going’ GILLIAN FLYNN
'Gripping … Bravura storytelling'
VOGUE
'A blood-soaked, gothic nightmare'
FINANCIAL TIMES
From one of our most accomplished storytellers, an extraordinary and arresting novel about a nineteenth-century women's asylum, and a terrifying doctor who wants to change the world.
Humiliated by a procedure gone terribly wrong, Dr Silas Weir is forced to take a position at the New Jersey Asylum for Female Lunatics. There, his work focuses on women who have been neglected by the state – women he subjects to grotesque modes of experimentation.
Based on authentic historical documents, Butcher is a nightmare voyage through the darkest regions of the American psyche.
'A ghastly and harrowing page-turner' STEPHEN KING, via X
'A triumph of style and brio’
