Daphne Fama was born in the American South, embedded in its tight-knit Filipino community. When she's not writing stories about monsters and the women who love them, she's writing about video games. And when she's not writing, she's spending every minute adoring her partner and pup.
Mesmerizing. Beautifully written, richly atmospheric, and compulsively readable, the horrors in these pages are confronted with ferocious hope. Suspenseful and heartfelt, House of Monstrous Women is a stunning gothic and an exceptional debut. * Rachel Harrison, bestselling author of So Thirsty and Black Sheep * Both grisly and tender, House of Monstrous Women invites readers to play an exhilarating, deadly game. Seamlessly blending history and horror, this spectacular story will hold you captive until dawn. * Kylie Lee Baker, author of Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng * Incredibly chilling and unforgettable. House of Monstrous Women found so many of my deepest fears and magnified them. This has to be one of the best horror books of the year. * Darcy Coates, USA Today bestselling author of Where He Can't Find You * Imagine being invited to an old friend's house. Then imagine that you might not leave alive. Those are the stakes upon entering Daphne Fama's House of Monstrous Women, a pulse-pounding tale of family trauma, frayed friendship, and political oppression. Forget warm and welcoming rooms. In this house, expect tension thicker than the rugs, dread that practically flows from the taps, and a bed chilled by your own cold sweat. * Nick Medina, author of Indian Burial Ground and Sisters of the Lost Nation * Fama's debut is ecstatically terrifying. Each page is a glistening homage to Filipino history and folklore and gothic atmosphere. I could not fight the lure of this story and I'm certain it will haunt me for days. * Roshani Chokshi, bestselling author of The Last Tale of The Flower Bride * A delicious blend of historical and horror, House of Monstrous Women uses the backdrop of mid-1980s Philippines to mirror the violence and terror in the story. From the deadly game played between friends to the mazelike house at the heart of the novel, a constant sense of unease awaits around every corner. Daphne Fama’s debut will fully immerse you in an unsettling story that weaves its hooks into you and won't let go. * Del Sandeen, author of This Cursed House *
