Such Sharp Teeth (2022)

Rory returns to her claustrophobic hometown to help her pregnant twin, only to be struck by a strange animal and cursed with lycanthropy. Harrison writes Rory with biting cynicism and immaculate deadpan delivery, turning small-town family dysfunction and awkward dates into sharp social comedy. But when the moon turns, the transformation is agonising and physically visceral: flesh tearing, bones cracking, feral bloodlust and shredded animal carcasses. The book never treats the monster as a metaphor alone; the violence is shockingly immediate.
