A chilling and darkly humorous feminist horror novel that has been hailed as a notable book of the year by the New York Times. From one of the genre's most promising voices, Buzzfeed has praised Abby Lamb's work as a buzz-worthy and ferocious horror comedy.
Abby Lamb believes she has found the Great Good in her husband, Ralph, and together they plan to start a family and put an end to the darkness of her childhood. However, their lives take an unexpected turn when they move in with Ralph's mother, Laura. Laura's depression has rendered her incapable of living independently, and she becomes venomous and cruel, particularly towards Abby, who has a complex understanding of motherhood due to her own troubled upbringing with her now-estranged mother.
When Laura takes her own life, her ghost begins to haunt Abby and Ralph in distinct ways. Ralph is plunged into deep depression, while Abby is relentlessly terrorized by a force determined to steal everything she holds dear. With her entire world at stake, Abby must make the ultimate sacrifice to prove her love for Ralph and break Laura's hold on the family forever.
This novel explores the depths of human emotions, the complexities of family relationships, and the horrors that can arise when darkness is allowed to consume. It is a must-read for fans of feminist horror and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted and suspenseful story.
