With an introduction by David Mitchell
Isserley spends most of her time driving. But why is she so interested in picking up hitchhikers? And why are they always male, well-built and alone?
An utterly unpredictable and macabre mystery, Under the Skin is a genre-defying masterpiece.
“A wonderful book - painful, lyrical, frightening, brilliant … I couldn’t put it down”
KATE ATKINSON
“One of the best-orchestrated reveals in modern British fiction … Michel Faber is a masterly writer”
DAVID MITCHELL
“Profound and disturbing … Faber writes superbly”
Sunday Times
“This is a man who could give Conrad a run at writing the perfect sentence”
Guardian
“Teases and prods the reader up a plethora of literary blind alleys before hauling them screaming towards its final, thrilling destination”
Daily Telegraph
