An astonishing first novel set in a world where 99 per cent of the population are werewolves.
Kit Whitfield is a graduate of Christ's College, Cambridge and completed an MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. Her first novel, Bareback (published in the US as Benighted) was shortlisted for the Authors Club Best First Novel Award, and longlisted for the Waverton Good Read Award. Her second novel is In Great Waters. She lives in London.
Bareback is neither [quite] horror nor supernatural fantasy, but
more a cautionary tale which echoes The Handmaid's Tale or Nineteen
Eighty Four...Her story resonates with real issues of power,
responsibility and blame
*The Times*
A gutsy debut...it's hard not to cheer on Whitfield's nerve,
especially when her plot, a hard-boiled thriller... rattles along
at such a pace
*Observer*
Gritty and original
*Guardian*
Extraordinary
*Kate Atkinson*
An intelligent book and a moving one
*Time Out*
