SLASHED BEAUTIES cover (Credit: Penguin Random House)The Halloween season isn’t just for horror movies. FANGORIA is excited to debut an exclusive excerpt from author A. Rushby’s new novel, Slashed Beauties, which hits shelves at the end of this month. Spanning the decadent Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens to sleek Seoul boardrooms, SLASHED BEAUTIES is a haunting exploration of beauty, control, and the bodies women inhabit—perfect for fans of provocative feminist horror. Slashed Beauties is Rushby’s first novel for adults in over ten years, though some of her work for children and middle grade readers doesn’t stray too far from its terrifying roots. Slashed Beauties hits shelves on September 23, and is available for pre-order now.
