Woo Woo - Ella Baxter

Woo Woo

'Thrillingly weird, squirming with life and throbbing with rage, Woo Woo often had me breathless and vibrating with delight. An incandescent howl of a book.' Emily Maguire, author of Rapture

'Woo Woo - what a delight. Richly dark and funny, this exploration of art and meaning, of the feminine experience, of modern madness had me stopping to catch my breath. Brilliant, original and loaded with the unexpected.' Sofie Laguna, author of Infinite Splendours

'Visceral, hyperreal and hilarious-there is no book like Woo Woo and no writer like Ella Baxter. I loved every single stunning sentence.' Paige Clark, author of She Is Haunted

Sabine returned from the shops carrying a bag containing an effortless pair of Christian Wijnants fringed trousers and Ann Demeulemeeter Crinkle Nero boots. The sales assistant had agreed that the combination made Sabine look exactly like an artist. 'A conceptual artist?' Sabine asked, and the sales assistant said, 'Or an actual artist.'

Sabine is having a moment. Her new exhibition, Fuck You, Help Me, is opening soon and, as her gallerist says, 'Hell is an artist three days before their exhibition opens.' But it's not only this coming milestone that is causing Sabine to melt down.

She is being stalked. As exhibition day draws closer, so too does the man who has been watching her. As his approaches become more overt and threatening, Sabine's fear amplifies and transforms into something feral and primal. And then things start to get really strange.

Darkly funny, intense and unsettling, Woo Woo is an astonishing and unflinching dissection of creativity and obsession, love and passion, vengeance and rage. Nothing will prepare you for this literary firestorm from the author of the internationally acclaimed debut New Animal.
