Table of ContentsReviewsClake's first novel is blazingly emotionally intelligent, caustically well-observed and at times painfully funny. Shot through with the most convincingly uncanny and unsettling latent plot I've encountered in years. Comparisons are odious, but it feels like Normal People meets Twin Peaks * Luke Kennard * When I Hit You meets The Craft - this slim, searing novel lures you in with the delicious nostalgia of teenage witchcraft before breaking you in two with its acute account of emotional and physical abuse. I was left completely breathless * Ruth Gilligan * Clake's first novel is blazingly emotionally intelligent, caustically well-observed and at times painfully funny.

Comparisons are odious, but it feels like Normal People meets Twin Peaks * Luke Kennard * When I Hit You meets The Craft - this slim, searing novel lures you in with the delicious nostalgia of teenage witchcraft before breaking you in two with its acute account of emotional and physical abuse. I was left completely breathless * Ruth Gilligan * Told in vivid domestic details flavoured by the occult, Disturbance embodies the claustrophobic fear and denial that can haunt survivors of abuse long after the danger has passed. This book reads like a poem but hits like a horror novel. What a mysterious, painful, yet strangely delicious slice of life * Ashley Hutson, author of ONE'S COMPANY * A smart, sinister novel about how an abusive relationship - with its ominous rituals, hexes and jump-scares - can turn a home into a haunted house. Blood-curdling and bloody brilliant. * Clare Pollard, author of DELPHI * Clake's first novel is blazingly emotionally intelligent, caustically well-observed and at times painfully funny.

Blood-curdling and bloody brilliant. * Clare Pollard, author of DELPHI * I enjoyed it very much. It is a beautifully written exploration of the aftermath of an abusive relationship. The prose is deceptively simple, highly sensual and sparkling with original imagery. Humorous and insightful in its depiction of teenagers dabbling in witchcraft, it is ultimately a serious story about a young woman recovering from trauma, and the psychological complexity of her story is both disturbing and - ultimately - immensely satisfying * Emma Henderson * Wonderfully witchy and emotionally astute. Disturbance hums with a tense and eerie energy and paints a powerful portrait of a young woman recovering from abuse * Chloe Ashby, author of WET PAINT * A hypnotic debut . . . the narrator's history is delicately unveiled, and I was in awe of the nuanced way in which Jenna Clake handled such a harrowing subject * Stacey Thomas, author of THE REVELS * Author InformationJenna Clake's debut collection of poetry, Fortune Cookie, won the Melita Hume prize in 2016 and was published in 2017 by Eyewear.
