Description
A woman's lover commits suicide. Why does everyone expect her to grieve? What if he wasn't one of the good ones? Was his suicide another cruelty? Her grief and rage are expressed through increasingly violent sexual encounters with strangers, acquaintances, and past lovers. How many deaths does he deserve?
And why did he love death more than her?
PRAISE FOR PSYCHROS
"An absorbing, twisted tale of psychosis, murder, and grief."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Part of Elsby's brilliance can be attributed to her ability and willingness to portray the calculating, obsessive, and frequently hideous truth of our interiors. Often, it can feel as though she's lifting patterns of thought directly from inside your head. It can leave you vulnerable, shaking, wrecked. If you enter her worlds with a genuine desire for truth, you can find the most raw and ugly pieces of yourself, but maybe also transcendence and relief."
- B.R. Yeager, author of Negative Space, Amygdalatropolis, and Pearl Death
"No one does what Elsby does. Psychros is thrilling and terrifying. Bursting with dangerous, sexy rage, it's evidence of a gripping and unstoppable intellect."
- Lindsay Lerman, author of I'm From Nowhere, and What Are You
"If you like your horror weirder than weird, Charlene Elsby is going to be the antidote for your current dilemma. An unnamed protagonist uses the power of sex and attraction to seduce and kill a man over and over again, with increasingly potency. This one will get under your skin and infect your thoughts."
- Michael J. Seidlinger, The Lineup
