Expected publication date: May 17, 2022
Anne Heltzel's latest thriller, Just Like Mother, is a visceral examination of motherhood, family-ties, feminism, and what it means to live in a body that isn't seen as your own. Following Maeve, a survivor of the cult known lovingly as the Mother Collective, this novel will leave your skin crawling — the itch of paranoia at the edge of your perception. It's brilliant and bloody, a must read for fans of body and psychological horror. Rosemary's Baby walked so that Just Like Mother could run.
