About this item
The Unmothers is a triumph of folk horror that will captivate fans of Midsommar and The Handmaid's Tale.
In this raw and lyrical novel, journalist Marshall is struggling to cope with her husband's recent death. After a horrific accident, her editor sends her to the isolated town of Raeford to investigate an absurd rumor: a horse has supposedly given birth to a healthy human baby boy.
Upon arrival, Marshall finds Raeford to be a town that treats its horses—famous for their breeding prowess—better than its people. Her investigation takes a darker turn when she discovers two brutally mangled bodies in a field—one human, one horse. As Marshall delves deeper into the town's secrets and its secretive inhabitants, she begins to question her own sanity. Is the bizarre story she's chasing a figment of her fractured mind, or is it a glimpse into a hidden truth?
As she unravels the enigma, Marshall finds herself confronting a chilling legacy of female rage, bodily autonomy, and generational trauma that has plagued Raeford's women for generations. The town’s haunting mysteries reveal a chilling and visceral tale that redefines the boundaries of horror.
Unbearably tense and utterly gripping, this atmospheric novel introduces a masterful storyteller who crafts an unforgettable journey into darkness and despair. ❤️📚❤️
