A review by obscurastrange
Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito

dark funny fast-paced

4.5

This book was such fun to read, it’s a very unique concept, dark and peculiar but incredibly funny and a bit irreverent at times. The prose is delicious, the way the main character describes things, or the connections she makes are usually both bewildering and hilarious - a glorious pairing! 

This is a short book but it was incredibly fun and a joy to read, I found myself tearing through it and excited for each chapter. I love the voice of this character, and I think she was portrayed in a really interesting way. 

I am very glad to hear that this has been picked up to be adapted into a horror movie, I can’t wait for that!

The only reason this isn’t a 5 star read for me is that the crest of the story lacked a punch. I enjoyed it, and I wasn’t bored by the culmination of the story, but I wish it had gone that little bit further, left a final surprise or something really strange to shock us with at the end.
