Scullery drudge Ann longs to become a lady's maid. Ann can't quite remember how or when she arrived at the grand Ropner Hall, but she loathes spending her days toiling in the dank kitchen.

When a chance meeting with Ropner's Lady Charlotte leads to the opportunity to become her personal maid, Ann is convinced she has finally escaped her own version of hell. But has she? As Ann's new life above stairs takes a sinister twist, will it turn out that the terrors lurking up there are worse than the devils she knows below?

A bold new voice in femgore, Jessie Elland’s deeply visceral debut is a dark and twisted tale of ambition and desire. Perfect for fans of Mariana Enriquez, Angela Carter and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
