“Gripping, dark, and more than a little sexy.”—LitHub
“Kyle McCarthy is a phenomenal writer of psychological depth and suspense. Immersions grips you with electric intensity.”—Justin Torres
“Immersions seduced me like a spell or a summons, a secret door or a siren’s song, a strange dream unsettling and exposing the psyche’s deepest corners. A fearless and intelligent exploration of female intimacy and male aggression, the mystery of other people and our own desires, the fragile border between surrender and abandon, Immersions immediately ushered me into a world that felt utterly singular and absolutely consuming. This novel moves with the stylish swagger of the contemporary even as it sounds the deepest trenches of myth, and it kept me so utterly immersed that I lived more fully in its world than my own. When I emerged, I still carried its residue inside me—visionary and intoxicating.”—Leslie Jamison
“Ballet can make girls into gods, but at what cost? In beautiful and lively prose, Immersions pushes its young narrator to open her body in an effort to find herself.”—Darcey Steinke
“A gorgeously written, daring novel of sisters and obsession, Immersions is sexy, shocking, and, yes, utterly immersive: a dark enchantment.”—Michelle Huneven
