“Read her now before she’s the queen of the underground.” - Splice Today

Beginning with a story of an ex sex-worker drifting through a small rural town in the south, and ending with a young woman’s wedding night, who learns from her new husband what it takes to kill a man, Nash writes across the complications of working class women, rendering their desires with visceral prose and psychologically dissecting the fundamental root that threads her work: craving and the conflicts within.

“Like a merry-go-round for adults - one that moves so fast that it’s nauseating, and it’s as fun as it is stressful.” - The Rumpus

“Elle Nash only whips out bangers.” - Entropy Magazine “

Relentlessly, whether the scene is a suburban home or an urban sex club, the aura of existential threat is borne.” - Reader
