Victorian Psycho

Virginia Feito

SOON TO BE A FEATURE FILM STARRING MARGARET QUALLEY AND THOMASIN MCKENZIE
Named one of the Most Anticipated Books of 2025 by Oprah Daily, Reader's Digest, Polygon, and Paste
“Simmering with rage, propulsive and laugh out loud funny, Victorian Psycho speaks profoundly of horror both within and without us.”—Catriona Ward
From the acclaimed author of Mrs. March comes the riveting tale of a bloodthirsty governess who learns the true meaning of vengeance.
Virginia Feito’s Mrs. March was hailed as “a brilliant debut … [by] a writer who keeps pace with the grandees she invokes” (Sarah Ditum, Guardian)—from Daphne Du Maurier and Shirley Jackson to Patricia Highsmith. Now, Feito returns with her “silver-polish sentences and her eerie psychological acumen” (Constance Grady, Vox) to unleash an entirely new antihero on us all.
Grim Wolds, England: Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess—she’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate’s dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family—Mr. Pounds can’t keep his eyes off Winifred’s chest, and Mrs. Pounds takes a sickly pleasure in punishing Winifred for her husband’s wandering gaze. Compounded with her disdain for the entitled Pounds children, Winifred finds herself struggling at every turn to stifle the violent compulsions of her past. French tutoring and needlework are one way to pass the time, as is admiring the ugly portraits in the gallery … and creeping across the moonlit lawns. …
Patience. Winifred must have patience, for Christmas is coming, and she has very special gifts planned for the dear souls of Ensor House. Brimming with sardonic wit and culminating in a shocking conclusion, Victorian Psycho plunges readers into the chilling mind of an iconic new literary psychopath.

Cursing at Mountains

Brandon Kowallis

What if the only way to break through the chaos in your life was to stop trying to move the mountains in your path - and instead learn to traverse them?
Chris thought he had it all under control: a career with real potential, a family he loved deeply, and dreams of building a better life for them all. But when the weight of his failures pushes him to the brink, he finds himself thrust into a surreal wilderness where nothing is certain-except the lessons that will change everything.
From cattle drives across blistering Nevada deserts to campfires in the Montana backcountry, Chris meets unlikely guides who challenge his assumptions about control, failure, and redemption. Each encounter forces him to confront his deepest regrets, his failing marriage, and the truth he's been running from: that the mountains in life don't move just because we want them to.
Blending vivid adventure with profound allegory, Cursing at Mountains takes readers on a journey through shifting landscapes of desert, forest, and canyon-where every road is a choice, every choice has a consequence, and growth comes only through surrender.
Fans of The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon, Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, or Mitch Albom's reflective storytelling will find the same mix of inspiration, adventure, and timeless wisdom in these pages.
Chris's struggle is every person's struggle-the battle to let go, to forgive, and to find the courage to start again. His journey will leave you asking: what mountains am I cursing at in my own life?
