Hello Pushkin readers!
Last week, we published Maxine Mei-Fung Chung's exceptional crime
debut, THE EIGHTH GIRL.
At its centre is Alexa Wú, a woman with
dissociative identity disorder, who must navigate London's cruel
underbelly in order to save her best friend from a dark fate.
READ THE EIGHTH GIRL:

IN EBOOK
Maxine herself is an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist,
who is fascinated by the world of psychological suspense and passionate
about writing powerful, realistic, respectful characters.
"To celebrate the
publication of The Eighth Girl I have chosen some more
psychological thrillers from female authors to whet your appetite"
Maxine Mei-Fung
Chung
We asked Maxine to select her favourite psychological thrillers and
suspense from the Pushkin list, which we've then gone and dropped
to £1.99 for two weeks only in ebook.
Happy Reading!

Tender is the Flesh
BY AGUSTINA BAZTERRICA
Translated by Sarah Moss
What happens in a world where we eat human meat? This gripping and
visceral Argentinian tale explores this very question. When one man,
Marcos, becomes obsessed with a ‘specimen’ he is ordered to kill, he
becomes tortured with the ramifications of what they are doing.
A haunting dystopian thriller that will stay with you long after you
finish.

The Master Key
BY MASAKO TOGAWA
Translated by Simon Grove
The K Apartments for Ladies in Tokyo conceals a sinister past behind
each door; a woman who has buried a child; a scavenger mad by
ill-health; a wife mysteriously guarding her late husband's
manuscripts; a talented violinist tortured by her own guilt. The master
key, which opens the door to all 150 rooms, links their tangled
stories. But now it has been stolen, and dirty tricks are afoot.
Available in print here.
