INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2019 BY VOGUE, HUFFPOST, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, PUREWOW, REFINERY29, NYLON, MARIE CLAIRE, BUSTLE, AND KIRKUS REVIEWS!

From the author of â€œCat Personâ€â€”â€œthe short story that launched a thousand theoriesâ€ (The Guardian)â€”comes Kristen Roupenian's highly anticipated debut, a compulsively readable collection of short stories that explore the complexâ€”and often darkly funnyâ€”connections between gender, sex, and power across genres.

You Know You Want This brilliantly explores the ways in which women are horrifying as much as it captures the horrors that are done to them. Among its pages are a couple who becomes obsessed with their friend hearing them have sex, then seeing them have sexâ€¦until they canâ€™t have sex without him; a ten-year-old whose birthday party takes a sinister turn when she wishes for â€œsomething meanâ€; a woman who finds a book of spells half hidden at the library and summons her heartâ€™s desire: a nameless, naked man; and a self-proclaimed â€œbiterâ€ who dreams of sneaking up behind and sinking her teeth into a green-eyed, long-haired, pink-cheeked coworker.

Spanning a range of genres and topicsâ€”from the mundane to the murderous and supernaturalâ€”these are stories about sex and punishment, guilt and anger, the pleasure and terror of inflicting and experiencing pain. These stories fascinate and repel, revolt and arouse, scare and delight in equal measure. And, as a collection, they point a finger at you, daring you to feel uncomfortableâ€”or worse, understoodâ€”as if to say, â€œYou want this, right? You know you want this.â€
