Woo Woo

A thrillingly weird novel about art, obsession, and the feral nature of female creativity.

Sabine is a conceptual artist whose latest show, Fuck You, Help Me, is about to launch, when her world begins to unravel. Stalked by a mysterious figure whose approaches grow increasingly threatening, she spirals deeper into her neuroses as exhibition day approaches and her fear transforms into something primal and untamed. Accompanied by her strange alter egos — from hyper-realistic baby puppets to the ghost of performance artist Caroline Schneemann — Sabine hurtles toward a surreal climax that forces a reckoning with what it means to create, to be seen, and to survive as a woman artist in a voyeuristic world.

Ella Baxter delivers an incandescent howl of a book that dissects creativity and obsession with visceral humour and unflinching intensity. Part psychological thriller, part artistic manifesto, Woo Woo is a spooky, surreal feast that pulses with rage and vibrates with delight — a literary firestorm unlike anything else.

‘A hyper-focused character study of a working artist in the age of platform capitalism. It at once lampoons and indulges the quirks of the self-marketing creative.’ JENNY WU, The New York Times

‘Ella Baxter cements herself as a novelist with a gift for exposing vulnerability under the surface of the absurd … [A] thoroughly bewildering exploration of exposure and autonomy, of seeing and being seen, through art and in life.’ KRISTEN MARTIN, The Washington Post

‘Thrillingly weird, squirming with life, and throbbing with rage, Woo Woo often had me breathless and vibrating with delight. An incandescent howl of a book.’ EMILY MAGUIRE, author of Rapture

‘Woo Woo — what a delight. Richly dark and funny, this exploration of art and meaning, of the feminine experience, of modern madness had me stopping to catch my breath. Brilliant, original, and loaded with the unexpected.’ SOFIE LAGUNA, author of Infinite Splendours
