Kristen Roupenian

You know you want it is a book about sex, dating and modern life. A collection of spooky stories about the lives of women today, their experiences at work, at home, at the doctor's, with friends, partners and family.

In some of these stories, women suffer horror, in others they inflict it, and in the process deal with desire, guilt, punishment and anger as best they know how. These are uncompromising stories that will make you step out of your comfort zone. Prose that will terrify and fascinate you, frighten and laugh, revolt and excite you...

Kristen Roupenian became world famous after her story Cat Person, published in the New Yorker magazine, became a viral sensation literally overnight. She received her doctorate in literature from Harvard. You know you want it is her debut, which is published in more than 25 languages.

About the book:

"Writing that evokes Angela Carter's dark feminist fairy tales and confirms Kristen Roupenian as one of the most exciting new prose voices." The Economist

"Disturbing, peculiar and, maybe a little perverse, but very, very fun." Kirkus Reviews
