“It Will Only Hurt for a Moment is a gloriously creepy and atmospheric horror thriller that smashes the patriarchy from beyond the grave.”—Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde “No one does female rage quite like Delilah S. Dawson. It Will Only Hurt for a Moment is both a deft examination of creativity and a bone-chilling take on the asylum novel. It’s an absolute must-read.”—Ally Wilkes, Bram Stoker Award–nominated author of Where the Dead Wait “Dizzyingly effective . . . Dawson’s prose is a kind of knife work. . . . It’s impossible not to read.”—The New York Times Book Review on The Violence
