What Kind of Mother: A Novel | 
pan⭐️ This book started out pretty good. Once I realized where it was going I was totally uninterested. It was a stupid premise to me and an even worse ending.

pickSouthern gothic, folk, and maritime horror. Chapman does it again, still proving to be one of my favorite horror novelists. A search for a lost infant runs awry as Madi, a palm reader (con artist) becomes involved. What Kind Of Mother would abandon a child? What Kind Of Father would bring it back? What Kind Of Mother would stay? The graphic depictions made me nauseous at times. Gory body horror & truly excellent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #twowitches #hauntedshelf

While her daughter is learning to live with her Dad, Madi is living in a motel reading palms. Then her old flame, Henry, shows up. He‘s been through major hardship and needs help finding his way. Then everything goes haywire.

so-soIf you've seen my Litsy posts, you know I like weird books. In fact, I love books in which super-off-the-wall stuff happens in the service of portraying true emotional reactions. However, this novel has the first without the second. It's a changeling story, which is cool, but I don't really buy the characters' reactions. And the repeated use of the phrase "the muck and the mire" has "Hang Me Up to Dry" by Cold War Kids stuck in my head.
pickThis was another bonkers listen, but this time in the best possible way! I had no idea where this story was going and just held on through the twisted, horrific ride. It was one of those stories that I don‘t even really know what I read but I know I enjoyed the experience of going through it 🤣. I really have enjoyed this author‘s writing! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
