NEW IN PAPERBACK A fearsomely dark, incantatory dystopia set in a post-apocalyptic convent from the author of viral sensation Tender is the Flesh

'Barbaric, brutal and utterly beautiful. The Unworthy is a searing haunt of a novel that I will never forget' LUCY ROSE, AUTHOR OF THE LAMB

In the House of the Sacred Sisterhood, the unworthy live in fear of the Superior Sister's whip. Seething with resentment, they plot against each other and await who will ascend to the level of the Enlightened - and who will suffer the next exemplary punishment.

Risking her life, one of the unworthy keeps a diary in secret. Slowly, memories surface from a time before the world collapsed, before the Sacred Sisterhood became the only refuge.

Then Lucía arrives. She, too, is unworthy - but she is different. And her presence brings a single spark of hope to a world of darkness.

An NPR Best Book of 2023 A collection of nineteen dark, wildly imaginative short stories from the author of the award-winning TikTok sensation Tender Is the Flesh.From celebrated author Agustina Bazterrica, this collection of nineteen brutal, darkly funny short stories takes into our deepest fears and through our most disturbing fantasies.

In “Roberto,” a girl claims to have a rabbit between her legs. A woman’s neighbor jumps to his death in “A Light, Swift, and Monstrous Sound,” and in “Candy Pink,” a woman fails to contend with a difficult breakup in five easy steps.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER The long-awaited new novel from the author of global sensation Tender Is the Flesh: a thrilling work of literary horror about a woman cloistered in a secretive, violent religious order, while outside the world has fallen into chaos.From her cell in a mysterious convent, a woman writes the story of her life in whatever she can find—discarded ink, dirt, and even her own blood. A lower member of the Sacred Sisterhood, deemed an unworthy, she dreams of ascending to the ranks of the Enlightened at the center of the convent and of pleasing the foreboding Superior Sister. Outside, the world is plagued by catastrophe—cities are submerged underwater, electricity and the internet are nonexistent, and bands of survivors fight and forage in a cruel, barren landscape. Inside, the narrator is controlled, punished, but safe. But when a stranger makes her way past the convent walls, joining the ranks of the unworthy, she forces the narrator to consider her long-buried past—and what she may be overlooking about the Enlightened. As the two women grow closer, the narrator is increasingly haunted by questions about her own past, the environmental future, and her present life inside the convent. How did she get to the Sacred Sisterhood? Why can’t she remember her life before? And what really happens when a woman is chosen as one of the Enlightened? A searing, dystopian tale about climate crisis, ideological extremism, and the tidal pull of our most violent, exploitative instincts, this is another unforgettable novel from a master of feminist horror.

Tillfälligt slut

Utsökt kadaver är en dystopisk skildring av en framtid där ett dödligt virus lett till att alla djur har utplånats. Förlusten av slaktdjuren har dock inte fått köttätandet att upphöra. Tvärtom. För att tillfredsställa efterfrågan på kött har man börjat avla fram människor till slaktindustrin. Övergången från att äta djur till människor sker stegvis. Snart kallas det som först benämns »särskilt kött« bara »kött«. I romanen följer vi Marcos som arbetar som slakteriinspektör och som försöker hitta ett sätt att utforma sitt liv i den nya tiden. Utsökt kadaver är dock inte bara en fiktiv skildring av en framtida värld. Boken ställer också indirekt kritiska frågor om vår egen tid och vår industriella produktion av kött.

Agustina Bazterrica föddes 1974 i Buenos Aires och är idag en av de mest omtalade författarna från Argentina. Hennes andra roman Utsökt kadaver vann det prestigefyllda priset Premio Clarin Novela.

Här presenteras romanen för svenska läsare i översättning av Lina Wolff.
