Trad Wife

by Saratoga Schaefer

'A Rosemary's Baby for our modern social media mindset' Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes 'Cements Schaefer as the new authority when it comes to horror' Maria Tureaud, author of This House Will Feed 'Timely, terrifying, and touched with humour, this book will chew you up and spit you out' C.J. Dotson, author of The Cut _______

Every trad wife needs a baby. Camille will get one - no matter the cost.


Camille lives to embody the perfect traditional wife-cooking, cleaning, homesteading, and documenting it all for her followers. But without a baby, her image-and her following-feels incomplete. As Camille's husband begins to withdraw and his attention in her waning, Camille's desperation deepens.

When Camille discovers a crumbling well hidden in the wheat field behind her new house, she is drawn to it, despite its proximity to an intimidating local forest. Unsure of what else to do, she makes a wish.

Soon, she's haunted by vivid dreams she believes are divine. Then something visits her-something not quite angelic. Her belly swells unnaturally fast. Her cravings turn raw. And yet, her announcement goes viral.

But as Camille's influence grows, so does the horror inside her. The life she always wanted is finally within reach... if it doesn't consume her first.
