NOW A MAJOR FILM
'It's a new literary genre... Supernatural horror meets bedroom politics' Sunday Times
'If you enjoyed Cat Person, this is for you' Evening Standard
These are stories of women's lives now. They also happen to be horror stories. In some, women endure the horror. In others, they inflict it.
Here are women at work, at home, on dates, at the doctor's, with their families and with their friends. Here are women grappling with desire, punishment, guilt and anger. These are stories to make you feel fascinated but repelled, scared but delighted, revolted but aroused.

Rezension:
I kept getting lured into another and another [of the stories]... [Kristen Roupenian has] one of those brains that feel out-of-this-world brilliant and also completely askew... What's special about Cat Person, and the rest of the stories in You Know You Want This is the author's expert control of language, character, story - her ability to write stories that feel told, and yet so unpretentious and accessible that we think they must be true. Lauren Holmes New York Times
