About this listen

‘Savage, witty, gory, heartfelt, utterly relatable rage fantasy and a helluva good time. Miranda July meets Stephen King’ Sunday Times bestseller Lauren Beukes

Hyper-competent start up CFO Ellie is 46-year old and like most women, is already juggling too much. Daughter’s not talking to her, husband’s not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work. It's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time, finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon.

Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.

Suddenly the troubles in her life - hot flushes, thankless family, spiralling to-do list, oblivious husband, the w*nker promoted above her at work – seem almost… bite-size.

A deeply gratifying, highly addictive and provocative read, Femme Feral is an exhilarating expression of feminine rage, with a warning: If you swallow your anger, it’s sure to come back with a bite.©2026 Sam Beckbessinger (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Critic Reviews

Savage, witty, gory, heartfelt, utterly relatable rage fantasy and a helluva good time. Miranda July meets Stephen King (Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls)
Bitingly funny, sharply observed, simmering with justified rage and buried wildness - a cathartic, necessary read (Catriona Silvey, author of Meet Me in Another Life)
Witty, thrilling, and oh so righteously FERAL. Sam Beckbessinger’s command of voice and character is superb. Make a to-do list and be sure to put this book at the top of it (Nat Cassidy, bestselling author of When the Wolf Comes Home and Mary)
