‘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Based on authentic historical documents, Butcher is a nightmare voyage through the darkest regions of the American psyche.

Some people are just fucking evil. Absolutely gory, ugly, very descriptive acts of pure evil against women.

Wow
