Charms: Four Stories of Female Revenge
September 30, 2017
"Rob Watts' Charms is a searing look at relationships going wrong. It is the literary screech of brakes that makes you turn, knowing you may witness an accident you may not be able to unsee." — Manhattan Book Review
“The alacrity with which Rob Watts slips into the minds of women wronged, scorned, betrayed, and bent on revenge is both impressive and unsettling. Charms is a delightfully disturbing trip into the darkest corners of the female psyche.” — Stacey Longo, author of Ordinary Boy
