Description

Advance Praise

'Rebecca Watson’s unique style is completely immersive; I felt as though I was inside of Rosa’s head, spiralling with her into uncertain memories. I Will Crash is an unforgettable ghost story.' NATASHA BROWN

'I Will Crash proves once again that there is nothing received, nothing complacent, nothing taken for granted in the writing of Rebecca Watson. Her writing builds itself from first principles, concentrates itself into only what is essential and startling, in a voice that feels both carved and floating.' COLIN BARRETT

'I Will Crash places the reader firmly in the consciousness of a narrator confronted with the myriad and often conflicting impulses that arise from childhood trauma. Watson's scattered sentences produce a deeply mesmeric and almost destabilizing effect on the reader. It's profoundly moving, funny, and beautifully written. A masterclass on the art of ellipsis.' MICHAEL MAGEE
