A perfectly twisted debut.\"—Anna Dorn, author of Perfume \u0026amp; Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A chilling book by an exciting new voice.\"—Vogue (UK)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a blistering new voice in dark literary fiction, an unsettling portrait of loneliness, obsession, and identity which asks: if a stranger was left alone in your house, how well could they truly get to know you—enough to fall in love with you?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice and Tom are made for each other. Deeply connected, they share a flat in London, go to galleries together, enjoy the same books and wine. They even share a toothbrush. It’s all picture perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcept Alice and Tom have never met.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice has been cleaning Tom’s apartment every Wednesday for a year. With every smudge wiped from his coffee cup, every multivitamin counted in the jar, Alice spirals deeper into infatuation, imagining a love so powerful it might erase a lifetime of self-hatred and loneliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as Alice prepares for the moment when she and Tom will finally meet face-to-face, she discovers that love might not be the cure she thought it was. Instead, the line between fantasy and reality becomes ever more blurred, shattering everything Alice thought she knew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold in Alice’s compelling, deliciously acidic voice, Creep is a literary study of unreliability and unlikability. Exploring alienation, class, and race, it's a skilled debut with resonance in the way that we view women, mental health, and the lost in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e * A great read for spooky-season nights\u003cbr\u003e * A perfect addition to any Halloween reading list\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[Published as This Immaculate Body in the UK]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emma van Straaten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463007723717,"sku":"9780063411012","price":10.12,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/0480\/1477\/files\/9780063411012.jpg?v=1765051995","url":"https:\/\/www.bloominsallysusedbooks.com\/products\/creep-a-love-story","provider":"Bloomin’ Sally’s Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
