Publisher Description

"A bold outpouring of flesh and crisis at once horrifying and familiar." —The New York Times

Winner of the 2018 Nommo Award for Best Novella

Every time she bleeds a murderer is born. Experience the horror of Tade Thompson's The Murders of Molly Southbourne. A finalist for the 2017 BSFA Award, the 2017 Shirley Jackson Award.


The rule is simple: don’t bleed.


For as long as Molly Southbourne can remember, she’s been watching herself die. Whenever she bleeds, another molly is born, identical to her in every way and intent on her destruction.

Molly knows every way to kill herself, but she also knows that as long as she survives she’ll be hunted. No matter how well she follows the rules, eventually the mollys will find her. Can Molly find a way to stop the tide of blood, or will she meet her end at the hand of a girl who looks just like her?

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Anxious Face with sweat“What the pie did I just read?? No, I'm serious; what is this? There are some points where they try to make out like she is just mentally unstable, but other times, everything is actually happening. Why? This book makes me feel like an idiot. I kind of like it.”
“This was a short read at under 100 pages with a unique plot. My head was spinning the entire time. I enjoyed it!”
“I could see this being a black mirror episode tbh”
