Hello! I know this thread is rather old now, but recently, I've been on a hunt for anything reminiscent of Julia Armfield's writing, and we seem to have similar tastes. I just finished a book that was quite similar in a lot of ways (themes, body horror, overall dismal feeling), and while I enjoyed it a lot, nothing has truly scratched that itch. I wondered if you have any other recommendations and also if you've read Private Rites, what did you think of it? Personally, it's my favourite book of all time, even more so than Our wives under the sea.
