Alison Rumfitt's Tell Me I'm Worthless is a dark, unflinching haunted house story that confronts both supernatural and real-world horrors through the lens of the modern-day trans experience.
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, barely keeping herself afloat by selling videos of herself cleaning her apartment, and 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 Alice's mind and her flesh, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice 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, whom 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 examines the devastating effects of trauma and the way fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other.

"Alison is like the twisted daughter of Clive Barker and Shirley Jackson. Tell Me I'm Worthless is an intense read full of shocks and buckets of gore. It's brilliant."
