"Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends Ila and Hannah. Since then, things have not been going well. Alice is living a haunted existence, selling videos of herself cleaning for money, drinking herself to sleep. She hasn't spoken to Ila since they went into the House. She hasn't seen Hannah either. Memories of that night torment her mind and her flesh, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, past the KEEP OUT sign, over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, she knows she must go. Together Alice and Ila must face the horrifying occurrences that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, who the House has chosen to make its own. Cutting, disruptive, and darkly funny, Tell Me I'm Worthless is a vital work of trans fiction that confronts both supernatural and real-world horrors as it examines the devastating effects of trauma and the way fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other."--Provided by publisher

"Not as scary as I had hoped, but a great read nonetheless."
Jason Dowell
"this book was i think well written but some scenes had me putting the book down and sitting in complete and utter silence thinking “what did i just read?” it made me think quite a bit actually. it was more of a psychological horror in my opinion. i wish there was more background with each of the characters and the ending did utterly silence me. the sexual assault scene had my mouth on the floor. although i did enjoy the book it will just be one i read once and just the one time.

"This book was written by someone who was terminally online during a pandemic lockdown and unfortunately it shows. Parts of it are spooky and insightful but most of it is shadow boxing with imaginary twitter opponents which is both uninteresting and already dated.<br/><br/>Also personally I don't like "ambiguous" rape stories so if I'd known in advance that's what it was I probably wouldn't have read it."

"This book has a pretty narrow audience based on the reviews here, and I think that's okay. This is absolutely a horror book with plenty of gore so that has to be up your alley, you have to be familiar with TERF ideology and the development of right wing ideology in young people online, and you have to be willing to have your stances shaken... so, not for everyone. Times have significantly changed from Shirley Jackson's Hill House (which I also love), and this book reflects this. <br/>BUT, this is a fantastic book with an incredibly strong voice, and I highly recommend it! I borrowed this as a library book, but I will absolutely be purchasing my own copy to re-read."
