My Death

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

What just happened? The classic book you will need to dissect - the story of a writer whose research into a forgotten female author breaks down into a deeply creepy and weird tale of female erasure and resurrection.

A struggling writer hits on the subject for her next book: a biography of an overlooked female artist. But her literary detective work soon leads to bizarre, unnerving twists...

The book will be about Helen Ralston, a visionary early twentieth-century artist and writer who seems to have been completely wri-tten out of history. Amazingly Ralston turns out to be still alive and a series of conversations between the two women begins. But a story about the historic erasure of an extraordinary female voice starts to break down into something even more sinister when the narrator begins to uncover unnerving parallels between Ralston's story and her own.

'An astonishing and deeply strange novella... Inspired, delicate and quite sinister' Mariana Enriquez

'Short, uncanny provocative' Lauren Elkin, New York Times

'Exhilarating! What an absolutely beguiling book with an ending that left me breathless and giddy' Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch
