"A smart, controlled, and highly effective piece of storytelling" —Bloody Flicks"In writing, as in vampiric transformation, the turn is the instant of disorientation that reimagines the world. Enter the feminist heroine we've been waiting for: she's got razor-sharp teeth, a sexy disregard for conventional Gothic tropes, and she doesn't want to be your girlfriend anymore. Rachel Feder's The Turn is as sharp as it is brilliant—terrifying, funny, and absolutely impossible to put down." —Selah Saterstrom, author of The Meat and Spirit Plan"The Turn is a smoldering modern gothic tale of monstrous lust and body horror, updated with all the Gen Z unmooring and malaise of the pandemic years. Rachel Feder has created a slow-creeping sense of doom that brings to mind Daphne DuMaurier and Henry James." —Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of The Bullet Swallower
