In this neon-lit future, fame comes with a twist: the rich and powerful can create Portraits-perfect copies of themselves to handle the exhausting burdens of celebrity. For washed-up film star Lulabelle Rock that means twelve clones performing every tiresome task on her behalf, from red-carpet appearances to awkward interviews. But times are changing, and you can have too much of a good thing. When the allure of clones fades, and the sparkle turns to scandal, Lulabelle's solution is simple: hit reset. Time is up for her twelve Portraits. Enter lucky number thirteen-a new clone with a singular purpose: to hunt down and assassinate her predecessors. After all, clones aren't people...right? It's not murder. Not really. But as Lulabelle 13 navigates the dizzying glitz, grime, and moral haze of Bubble City, she starts to wonder: what defines a life worth sparing? Sharp, thrilling, and glowing with heart, `Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock' delivers a mesmerizing mix of dark satire, high-concept sci-fi, and gripping emotional drama.Maud Woolf is a Scottish speculative writer with a particular focus on horror and science fiction."This is an engaging investigation of fame, personality and learning to know one's own worth." -The Guardian"A dazzling noirish romp... By turns sad, introspective, and defiantly optimistic, this tale of self-hatred, self-love, and self-discovery delights."-Publishers Weekly, starred review"An addictively enthralling SF thriller with razor-sharp prose, cinematic scenes, and a surprisingly tender exploration of life's highs and lows and finding love."-Nils Shukla, Fantasy Hive"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

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The German state of Brandenburg has a village green on which communal events are celebrated, and the Brandenburg Gate is the setting for all great national events. The Gate was originally built as a monument to peace, but it has become a symbol of the division of Germany and the world into two blocs. #2 The first person to use the Brandenburg Gate for a triumphal entry was not King Frederick II of Prussia, but Napoleon Bonaparte. After the Battle of Austerlitz in December 1805, the only German state still offering serious resistance to the invader was Prussia. #3 The Brandenburg Gate is a monument to which history has added layers of meaning. It is also a remarkable standpoint from which to view some of the key moments in German history. From this place alone, you can see evidence of the Napoleonic Wars, as well as many other great events that have shaped the German national memory. #4 The westward view from the Brandenburg Gate is a view of Germany's place in the world between 1870 and 1914. If things had gone as Hitler and Albert Speer had planned, the view north in the late 1940s would have shown their idea of what that place ought to be.
