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 grappling with grief after her husband's death. Her editor assigns her a bizarre story: a rumor that a horse has given birth to a healthy human baby boy in the small, insular town of Raeford. Intrigued by the absurdity of the tale, Marshall heads to the town, hoping for a quick and easy assignment.
Upon arrival, Marshall discovers a town that seems to value its horses more than its human inhabitants. The situation takes a sinister turn when two mangled bodies—a horse and a human—are found in a field. What seemed like a ridiculous rumor now feels disturbingly real.
As Marshall delves deeper into Raeford's secrets and the guarded lives of its people, her sense of reality begins to unravel. She questions whether she’s losing her grip or if the impossible story is linked to a dark secret that has plagued the women of Raeford for generations.
The Unmothers is unbearably tense and utterly gripping, weaving an atmospheric tale of female rage, bodily autonomy, and generational trauma. This novel marks the arrival of a masterful storyteller who masterfully intertwines horror and heartbreak in a haunting exploration of a community's darkest secrets.
