À propos de cet audio
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A darkly funny take on mothers and daughters, about a woman who must take drastic measures to save her husband and herself from the vengeful ghost of her mother-in-law.
“A quirky, gruesome, utterly original feminist horror experience.”—The New York Times Book Review
When Ralph and Abby Lamb move in with Ralph’s mother, Laura, Abby hopes it’s just what she and her mother-in-law need to finally connect. After a traumatic childhood, Abby is desperate for a mother figure, especially now that she and Ralph are trying to become parents themselves. Abby just has so much love to give—to Ralph, to Laura, and to Mrs. Bondy, her favorite resident at the long-term care home where she works. But Laura isn’t interested in bonding with her daughter-in-law. She’s venomous and cruel, especially to Abby, and life with her is hellish.
When Laura takes her own life, her ghost haunts Abby and Ralph in very different ways: Ralph is plunged into depression, and Abby is terrorized by a force intent on destroying everything she loves. To make matters worse, Mrs. Bondy’s daughter is threatening to move Mrs. Bondy from the home, leaving Abby totally alone. With everything on the line, Abby comes up with a chilling plan that will allow her to keep Mrs. Bondy, rescue Ralph from his tortured mind, and break Laura's hold on the family for good. All it requires is a little ingenuity, a lot of determination, and a unique recipe for chicken à la king…

Histoire
Peyote Trip has a pretty good gig in the deals department on the fifth floor of Hell. Sure, none of the pens work, the coffee machine has been out of order for a century, and the only drink on offer is Jägermeister, but Pey has a plan—and all he needs is one last member of the Harrison family to sell their soul.

Histoire
Lydia is hungry. She's always wanted to try Japanese food. Sashimi, ramen, onigiri with sour plum stuffed inside - the food her Japanese father liked to eat. And then there is bubble tea and iced-coffee, ice cream and cake, and foraged herbs and plants, and the vegetables grown by the other young artists at the London studio space she is secretly squatting in. But, Lydia can't eat any of these things. Her body doesn't work like those of other people.

Mary is a quiet middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying mutilated specters that come with increasing regularity.

On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses - until things become much more serious. Most of the island's inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten. When a young woman who is struggling to maintain her career as a novelist discovers that her editor is in danger from the Memory Police, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards.

Twenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. Three weeks later they fled in the dead of night, an ordeal Ewan later recounted in a nonfiction book called House of Horrors. His horror memoir of ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity — and skepticism.

Time slips. Doomsday scenarios. Killer butterflies. C. J.

Riveting, macabre, and explosively original, A Sliver of Darkness is C. J. Tudor at her most wicked and uninhibited.

Jarring, Exciting and Masterful
Motherthing is a fascinating, jarring and incredibly creative book. It’s very rare to come across a narrative like this and it can disorient some readers who might be unfamiliar with literary norms. Abby, the main character is an unreliable narrator whose mental and psychological capacity is sort of stuck. As a result of the deep trauma she has endured. She does her best to “blend” and mimic those around her but ultimately she not a person you might describe as conventionally well adjusted. It’s very important to grasp this concept quickly in the story otherwise you might mistakenly think of her as a “one dimensional character”. This book was so much fun to listen to, the voice actor captures the eerie ness of it all very well. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a trip, to say the least! 5/5

A weird scare!?!
Although I've read and watched a ton of true crime, scary documentaries and read biographies, This was the first time I've listened to a ghost story; there were some edge-of-the-seat parts. I enjoyed this novel!

deliciously twisted!
this Story presents a style of writing but I have never seen before and I love it! you can really feel the characters mind slipping with how the author writes, I found myself even wincing at a few parts with how graphically She Wrote but it also was refreshing and new. the performance was awesome too her voice really betrayed the character fighting with her inner demons and finally giving into them.

Fresh & lightly funny
I enjoyed the narrator and having a fresh story concept kept me listening whenever I could. The only downside were the protagonists tangents... although generally funny they sometimes rambled a little too long.

not a great book, no appealing characters
This was a strange book, did not enjoy at all. jarring dialogue, 2 dimensional characters, heavy handed. listened as it was featured on CBC but ended up disappointed. Had potential to explore interesting themes of motherhood, mental health and trauma but missed the mark in a big way.
