Every #tradwife 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.

Folk Horror meets Social Media

I learned about this book on a Monday and I had devoured it by Wednesday. It was a journey and a really relatable one. It's a discussion around the tradwife social media movement together with the discovery of self-identity and setting your own boundaries to protect yourself and your beliefs, not to just like and be accepted. The horror part of the book is dark and seductive. An easy read that I can only reccomend to follow along while listening to Tribulation, especially for the last chapters. TW it's a little bit gore-ish at some points! At least that is how I perceived it.
