About the book
When Camille Deming isn’t cooking, cleaning, or homesteading in her picture-perfect country farmhouse, she’s posting about her tradwife lifestyle for her online followers. She takes inspiration from other tradwives on social media, aspiring to be like them, but Camille’s missing a key component: a baby. And contrary to what she posts online, things with her husband, Graham, have been strained. Pressured by her eager followers, Camille fears that without a baby, her relationship will suffer and her social media will never grow out of its infancy. When Camille discovers a mysterious, decrepit well in the wheatfield behind her house, she makes a wish for a baby. Afterward, she has unsettling experiences that she convinces herself are angelic in nature, and when she’s visited one night by a strange creature, her wish comes true. Camille’s pregnancy announcement gets more engagement than anything she’s ever posted—so what if Graham’s reaction is lukewarm? Camille’s life is finally falling into place. Never mind that her pregnancy is developing freakishly rapidly and she’s suddenly craving raw meat. Being a traditional wife is worth it. <i>Rosemary’s Baby</i> for the digital age, this disturbing horror novel is one you’ll want to devour in just one bite.

“3.5 stars I must be in my tradwife book era because this is the third tradwife story I've read recently. Of course, it's also the next installment in shitty husband marathon as well. Wooooo. My own husband is going to have a great time listening to me rant about this piece of work. It's supposed to be horror, but it didn't really scare or gross me out. At this point, I'm pretty used to cannibal books, so the descriptions were great, to say the least.
