Review
Gothic and brilliantly grim, these uneasy tales from the author of Tender Is The Flesh are as shadowy as night... Bazterrica's darkly macabre imagination works like talon and beak... 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
Dark, funny, weird, unique... The variety, originality, and strength of this collection cement her as one of the most exciting contemporary voices in speculative fiction - Locus Magazine
Provocative... Vivid and bizarre, this will entrance - Publishers Weekly
Written in her deliciously dark tone, Bazterrica's claws puncture polite society's fragile membrane, revealing the darkness writhing beneath - Litro
