Alison Rumfittโs Tell Me Iโm Worthless is a dark, unflinching haunted house story that confronts both supernatural and real-world horrors through the lens of the modern-day trans experience.
โAlison is like the twisted daughter of Clive Barker and Shirley Jackson. Tell Me Iโm Worthless is an intense read full of shocks and buckets of gore. Itโs brilliant.โ โJoe Hill, New York Times bestselling author

โA triumph of transgressive queer horror.โ โPublishers Weekly, STARRED review
Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. Since then, Aliceโs life has spiraled. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep.
Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go.
Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own.
Cutting, disruptive, and darkly funny, Tell Me Iโm Worthless is a vital work of trans fiction that examines the devastating effects of trauma and how fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other.
โEasily one of the strongest horror debuts in recent memory.โ โBooklist, STARRED review
