Wonderfully witchy and emotionally astute, Chloë Ashby's unsettling and atmospheric novel Harriet Tyce is a bloody brilliant read for fans of Boy Parts and My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Exploring all the ways that relationships and trauma can haunt our lives, the book follows a young woman who spies on her teenage neighbour, transfixed by what looks like an occult ritual to banish an ex-boyfriend. Desperate to expel the claustrophobic memories of her own ex that have followed, the narrator decides to try to hex herself free from her past. She falls in with the neighbour and her witchy friend, exploring nascent supernatural powers as the boundaries of reality shift in and out of focus. But when the creaks and hums of her apartment escalate into something more violent, she realizes that she may have brought her boyfriend's presence - whether psychological or paranormal - back to haunt her.
