The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica, Sarah Moses (translator) - 2025/26 Adults Book Club Survey template |
Win advance copies of horror title from author of viral sensation Tender is the Flesh!
A fearsomely dark, incantatory new dystopia set in a post-apocalyptic convent from the author of viral sensation Tender is the Flesh.
In the House of the Sacred Sisterhood, the unworthy live in fear of the Superior Sister's whip. In an atmosphere of constant threat and tense rivalry, they plot against each other and wait to see who will ascend to the level of the Enlightened - and who will suffer the next exemplary punishment.
Risking her life, one of the unworthy keeps a diary in secret. Slowly, memories surface from a time before the world collapsed, before the Sacred Sisterhood became the only refuge.
Then Lucía arrives. She, too, is unworthy - but she is different. And her presence brings a single spark of hope to a world of darkness.
'Brutal and aching. A perfect fever dream of a book'- Heather Darwent, author of The Things We Do to Our Friends
Unflinching, uncompromising, and unforgettable. Agustina Bazterrica shines a light at the end of the brutal and bleak path we are on so that maybe, just maybe, we can turn around and forge a new one - Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World
