Eleanor Davies
YOU’D KILL TO BE ONE OF THEM.
Eve leaves behind a bleak childhood for the icy but beautiful environs of Newcastle University. Determined that her life will not be ordinary, she is delighted when a chance encounter introduces her to a glamorous and intoxicating clique of some of England’s most privileged.
The group are bonded by a passion for the poetry of the Late Romantics and a desire to pursue a Byronic lifestyle, pushing life to its extremes. For Eve, it is a world of wonder, one filled with poetry, decadent parties, and unimaginable wealth. But when the Byronic ideals of free love and hedonism splinter beneath the weight of obsession, sex, and lies, the group becomes bound instead by something darker; a single night that will change them all forever.
Years later, they reunite in the days leading up to a glittering wedding. Their lives still appear golden and enviable, but cracks have begun to show. Someone is determined that there will be a reckoning for the past, and secrets emerge, lethal and uncontainable.

"One of the best debuts I've ever read. Eleanor Davies has a brilliant, unique voice and it sizzles in We Shall Be Monsters. Page-turner feels like an understatement for this gorgeous, unsettling, twisty tour de force."—Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Women in White
“Beautifully written and impossibly tense, with a twist that will stop you in your tracks, We Shall Be Monsters is The Secret History for a new generation. I devoured this in two sittings. Eleanor Davies is a genius and this deserves to be an instant feminist classic.”—Emilia Hart, bestselling author of Weyward and The Sirens
"Dark academia at its finest, this is a rich and wild debut novel with more than one twist that utterly shocked me."—Jessica Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of The Counselors
“I was astonished by this seductive, secretive debut, which offers shades of Saltburn and The Secret History. There are suffocating friendships and intoxicating scholarship, all told with an exceptional and intelligent command of voice. Biting and blissful, with delicious twists that made me gasp. Dark academia has a new face, and it’s monstrous.”—Emma van Straaten, author of Creep: A Love Story

“A darkly evocative tale of lust, ambition, secrets, and lies. The plot simmers with tension and then explodes with a blindsiding twist. Beautifully written and completely unexpected, I loved it all.”—Rebecca Hannigan, author of Darkrooms
