Trad Wife
Praise/Reviews:
“Flat out brilliant”
Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of Horror Movie
“A genre beast—menacing, claustrophobic, and wholly unexpected”
Mariana Enriquez, New York Times bestselling author of Our Share of Night
“Trad Wife is a surreal and slick feminist feast for the senses that kept me thinking long after I finished the final page. Sarah Langan is the queen of modern horror.”
Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
“Wonderfully wrong in every way, Trad Wife wants to wriggle down your mouth hole and lay eggs.”
Grady Hendrix, author of WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS
“Sarah Langan builds her delicate menace so expertly you don’t realise where you are, until it’s too late. The writing and plotting are exquisite. This book sticks to the reader like superglue, like flies to flypaper. Glorious, unhinged and utterly irresistible.”
Catriona Ward, bestselling author of LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET and NOWHERE BURNING
“Think of it as essential reading for those who loved the creeping domestic dread of The Stepford Wives or the brutal societal critique of The Handmaid’s Tale, but updated for the age of the algorithm and the influencer. This novel doesn’t just want to scare you; it wants to make you understand why you were already afraid.”
Gingernuts of Horror
“This is a brilliant horror that’s not for the fainthearted – the Instagram The Shining, if you will.”
Stylist, UK
“A polemic on sexism, astro-turfed masculinity, feminism, and the sheer state of social media. It’s Stepford Wives vs The King in Yellow, but not in the way you expect.”
