Brown Dog Books, 2025

Girls to the Front is a found-footage feminist revenge thriller set against the backdrop of the 90’s alternative music scene from the writer of The Twenty Seven Club, Parklife and When Sally Killed Harry. She’s with the band. She wants them dead. A dead body. A woman with blood on her hands. Will footage on an old videotape and some dark magic uncover the truth? When Roma finds an old VHS tape in a house clearance box, she’s drawn into a deadly crime that took place over 30 years ago. Roma’s discoveries lead her towards a rock band with a bad reputation – and a meeting with a mysterious woman named Kat. But are the crimes on the tape really confined to the past? A revenge thriller teeming with feminist fury and 90s nostalgia. ‘A punchy, grunge-era feminist revenge thriller, this is Lucy Nichol at her darkest and absolute best. I was gripped by every page.’ Adam Farrer, author of Broken Biscuits and Other Male Failures ‘Propulsive, fierce and hugely satisfying, Girls to the Front is a feminist tour de force!’ Lisa Timoney, author of The Daughter She Gave Away ‘A dark, feminist thriller with a punk protagonist exacting her revenge like a real life Martha Splatterhead.’ Adem Tepedelen, Co-author of Mud Ride: A Messy Trip Through the Grunge Explosion   ‘A compelling tale of righteous feminist anger that spans decades – Girls to the Front explores how persistent misogyny and violence against women and girls still is via a dark, twisty and utterly absorbing thriller.’ Molly Tie, author of Rebel Grrrls – The Real Story of Women and Punk ‘Girls to the Front shines a powerful light on neglected aspects of an era so formative for those in my generation. It is Lucy Nichol's most powerful work so far.’ Guy Mankowski, author of bestselling substack biography ‘I Know How to Live: The Life of Kristen Pfaff’ ‘A dark, but disturbingly accurate, look into misogyny in the music industry, the power of female rage, and why safe spaces for everyone at live music shows are crucial.’ Cheri Amour, music journalist and author of Come Away With ESG
