LEIGH RADFORD
The Devil Wears Prada meets The Exorcist in this wickedly chic horror novel about the cost of wishing you were someone else.
Ilona Darke has always felt like a ghost in her own life. She’s overlooked at work, can’t find love, and is haunted by the sense that she was meant for something more. Until she discovers Le Fays, a mysterious SoHo atelier, where she finds a stunning suit that fits her like a glove.
When Ilona begins wearing the second-hand garment, a new, more confident voice begins to replace her lifelong internal bully. Ilona stands a little taller. Speaks a little sharper. Wants more than the life she’s accepted. And the new, persuasive voice in her head feels less like a threat than a gift. But every gift comes with a price. As the Manhattanhenge solstice approaches, Ilona begins to lose track of time. She’s been waking up with unexplained bruises and pulling threads from her skin; she’s starting to wonder whether the suit is actually helping her become her best self or if it wants something more…
Darkly glamorous and viciously funny, She’s All the Rage is a tailor-made nightmare about identity, ambition, and the horror of getting exactly what you wished for.
"Compulsively readable. A propulsive, page-turning descent into all that is lovely and grotesque about grief, obsession, and love."
Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
One Yellow Eye is a heartrending and darkly humorous novel about the desperate measures we take to keep the ones we love alive.

Unbeknownst to them, Kesta is conducting her own medical experiments in the spare bedroom of her flat, where her husband Tim lies chained to a radiator, the only zombie remaining.
​
Kesta will risk everything, including another outbreak, to bring Tim back from the undead.
