Welcome to Litsy!

This is somewhat of a convoluted ghost story. The premise is interesting but some of the ending is a bit much. Flora has just had her first child and is having some supernatural postpartum psychosis issues.

This was a fairly good, fast thriller. My family is down with the flu this week, so our Thanksgiving plans were pretty much cancelled. I work tomorrow a half day (work from home), then probably another chill day at home. On the bright side, I will get some more reading in.

I have never said WTF more while reading a book. Lots of triggering topics in this one and very horrifying!

I read this last month. It‘s a solid horror novel. The tone is sort of V.C. Andrews meets postpartum psychosis. #BOTM

This debut novel quickly becomes impossible to put down! Mother horror has become a recent sub-genre & though this reminded me of a few other books, I still stayed up to finish in one sitting! With her husband deployed, Flora gives birth alone & though her dad & stepmother stay for a short time initially, Flora‘s isolation & sleep deprivation starts weighing on her, bringing back episodes from her own childhood, body horror & an uncanny visitor.

This story follows a new mom who, out of necessity, invites her estranged mother into her home, only to discover that old wounds run deep and sinister events soon unfold, blurring reality.

Fast-paced, chilling, psychologically suspenseful with dark secrets slowly unraveling and the line between reality and nightmare blurring with every page - UNPUTDOWNABLE!
