Description
History meets fantasy in A. Rushby's tale of sisterhood, betrayal and reclamation revolving around three Anatomical Venuses - ultra-realistic wax models of women - that come to life at night to murder men who have wronged them.
Seoul, present day: Antiques dealer Alys is paid a vast sum of money to transport one of three highly coveted Anatomical Venuses to the UK ... and then destroy it. It's a moment she's waited years for, and an offer she can't refuse.
London, 1769: After a chance meeting at the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, young and inexperienced Eleanor is promised a life of luxury by the beautiful and charismatic Elizabeth and her protege, Emily. All she has to do is allow Elizabeth complete control of her destiny.
In a darkly compelling and magical plot, prepare to discover the dangerous secret shared by these four women - a secret that spans centuries, and which will unearth horrors not of this world.

Trinnie M, Reviewer
A gothic feminist body horror where the past and present begin to intersect. It becomes clear that the womenโs stories are linked in deeper, darker ways than it initially seems.
An exploration of bodily autonomy, feminine desires and the unrelenting need to be heard when all the world wishes to do is silence you. A harrowing exploration that will leave chills down your spine.
