Rytual

High-concept and psychologically rich, with the dark, compulsive pull of a Black Mirror episode . . . ideal for book clubs and readers drawn to provocative fiction.

Jess Lomas, Books + Publishing

Outrageously funny, superbly plotted and deeply psychotic. I gorged myself on it.

Virginia Gay

Hilarious and deft, Rytual satirises both the mythical girlboss and the glossy world of beauty brands, while taking the reader on a breakneck journey filled with gasp-worthy twists and turns. Chloe Elisabeth Wilson is one hell of an exciting new talent.

Amy Taylor, author of Search History

Rytual is the hottest item in the Shameless Media office right now … It’s so f*cking good. If you love the beauty industry and psychological thrillers, this is the book for you.

Michelle Andrews, Shameless

Rytual is wild in the most perfect way. It’s the page-turner of the year, a literary thriller with a taste of modern sci-fi and horror, and also breathtakingly sexy. Every sentence is constructed like a work of art. I will be telling every woman I know about Rytual – oh, and also, looking twice at all my beauty products from now on.

Eilish Gilligan, Shameless Book Club

Sexy as hell, funny as sin. I’ve never devoured a book so quickly.

Michelle Brasier, author of My Brother's Ashes Are in a Sandwich Bag

Rytual is absolutely unhinged in the best way possible, with elements of dystopian thriller in a story that's somehow also terrifyingly relatable. How does she do it?! Probably by way of being an excellent writer, and also simply existing as a young woman in the world. Wilson's debut is sharply observed, exposing the fine line between feminism and misandry; #girlboss energy and a toxic workplace; wellness culture and straight-up cult. Rytual is gripping, smart and incredibly salacious.

Amy Lovat, Secret Book Stuff

A deliciously addictive, dream come true debut that left me wanting more.

Gretta Ray

Wilson[’s] screenwriting chops really come to the fore. Each scene, person and interaction is so well crafted that even as you cringe you can picture it down to the smallest of details . . . When the conversation has moved on from The White Lotus, Rytual is the book that is going to be discussed in group chats, on tram rides, at dinner parties and around the office.

Rosalind McClintock, Readings

Rytuał had recruited me by the end of Chapter 1 and took me on a lush and superbly crafted journey embellished with obsession, justice and boss women in impeccable outfits. Chloe Elisabeth Wilson's debut cleared my skin, braided my miraculously glossy hair, and deliciously captivated my mind such that I was constantly awaiting what Luna and the other rytuałists had in store. With twists, turns and a creeping sense of reality distortion, discover what people feel driven to in order to break free from perceived flaws. I can't wait to see everyone introduced to Friday Night Drinks when Rytuał releases!
