"""In THIRTEEN WAYS TO KILL LULABELLE ROCK, Maud Woolf playfully and skilfully explores an intriguing premise - a protagonist created to kill her own clones. Blade Runner meets Killing Eve in this clever and funny speculative thriller."" — Guy Morpuss, author of FIVE MINDS and BLACK LAKE MIRROR “A doppeltastic delight that explores identity and skewers celebrity culture.” — Ever Dundas, author of Goblin and HellSans “Thirteen Ways is iridescent, drawing you in with all its shiny colours and propelling you through the mystery and horror of Lulabelle Rock and Bubble City. It’s complicated. And really quite brilliantly simple.” — Joma West, Author of Face “Original, funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock is a brilliantly assured debut. Woolf's razor-sharp wit and prose delivers a unique, contemporary and existential thriller which had me hooked from the premise to the final page!” — Adam Southward, Author of the Alex Madison series ""Lulabelle Rock is a must-read for fans of Black Mirror, Blake Crouch, and sci-fi that passes the Bechdel test. I don't often see books in this genre that can balance speculative elements with this much heart. Woolf is a debut author to watch."" — Amber, @seekingdystopia ""Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock is an addictively enthralling sci-fi thriller with razor sharp prose, cinematic scenes and a surprising tender exploration of experiencing the highs and lows of life and finding love."" — Nils Shukla - The Fantasy Hive ""Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock is a debut that is as riveting as it is emotionally charged. It is one that sunk its claws in early and kept moving right along with its imaginative storytelling and sardonic humor. Woolf is an author to keep an eye on."" — FanFiAddict ""Gentle and dark in equal parts, Woolf’s debut highlights the importance of balance, rest, and asking just enough of oneself. A riveting read."" — Shazzie - Fantasy Book Critic “This book altered my brain chemistry. I’ll forever be fascinated by Lulabelle and her portraits.” — Charli, @bookishcharli ""An insightful look at the unrealities of fame, this book explores identity and independence in a near future setting. The Lulabelles are as memorable and heartbreaking as they are unique. Woolf leaves the reader feeling thoughtful and introspective with her debut novel."" — Fiction Fans Podcast"
