Gothic and brilliantly grim, these uneasy tales from the author of Tender Is The Flesh are as shadowy as night even in the bright glare of sunshine, as Bazterrica's darkly macabre imagination works like talon and beak, capable of tearing apart everyday situations and transforming them into something horribly chilling - Daily Mail

In 19 Claws, Bazterrica resumes the study of the macabre that characterised Tender Is the Flesh. This time, however, the brutality of the female experience is cut through with a dark wit and a heavy dose of the fantastic - Guardian

Like Enriquez, Bazterrica writes fetishistic gore with a bewitching allure, creating... an overwhelming sense of dread and a fear of losing one's senses - Big Issue

A compelling and unsettling work that will leave readers questioning the boundaries between love, desire, and obsession - Glamour

This book will leave you shocked into contemplating the darker sides of human nature - Sci Fi Now

Provocative... Vivid and bizarre, this will entrance - Publishers Weekly
