'Tales of toxic relationships, a hungry, howling, anorexic ghost, drug addled lovers and blighted lives and landscapes ... But there are surprises in store, too. Crime writer Sophie Hannah delivers a high school musical murder mystery while Louisa Young's Heathcliffs I Have Known is a furious, funny, riotous rant on the role of this supposedly romantic hero' Sunday Express S Magazine'Inspired by Wuthering Heights, these tales of toxic relationships, an entirely disturbing episode of stalking and necrophilia, blighted lives and bleak landscapes reveal that contemporary responses to Emily Bronte's endlessly controversial classic can be equally stark, cruel and shocking' Daily Mail
'Louisa Young's furious, funny, righteous rant redresses the 'romantic' hero myth as she recites the violent misdemeanours of bad boyfriends in Heathcliffs I Have Known' Daily Mail
