Book - 2025

"In this electric horror novella from the author of The Insatiable Volt Sisters, an exhausted mother thinks her newborn might be a monster. She's right. Thea's third pregnancy was her easiest. She wasn't consumed with anxiety about the baby. She wasn't convinced it was going to be born green, or have a third eye, or have tentacles sprouting from its torso. Thea was fine. The baby would be fine. Then they handed Lucia to her, and Thea knew. Not only was Lucia born with a full set of teeth and a devilish glint in her eye, but she is always hungry. Indiscriminately so. Thea learns quickly that she needs to keep Lucia away from the chickens and watch her closely around her baby brother. Thea doesn't know whether to be terrified or proud of her rapacious baby girl. But Lucia's rapid growth starts to bring dark memories to the surface. Flashes from Thea's childhood that won't release their hooks from her heart. Lucia wants to eat. Thea might just let her"--
