Summary
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING AMY ADAMS • In this blazingly smart and voracious debut novel, an artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced she's turning into a dog. • 'A must-read for anyone who can’t get enough of the ever-blurring line between the psychological and supernatural that Yellowjackets exemplifies.' —Vulture

One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else...

An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler's demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms.

As the mother's symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem.

An outrageously original novel of ideas about art, power, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale, Nightbitch will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want.

Awful and redundant

I hated this book and everyone in my bookclub agrees

For anyone who is a mother/experienced postpartum, this is THE book to fully illustrate what that looks and feels like. This is the raw and true story of what it is like to go through the chaos and beauty of motherhood. For the main character to be able to channel her mom rage and transformation into such powerful performance art is incredible. Giving hope to all mothers who may be struggling to feel the joys of motherhood that we are all “supposed to feel” The narrator is absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed listening to her soothing yet powerful voice bringing this book alive.

Powerful ode to mothers, agreed that the last third doesn’t exactly match up with first 2/3 of book but it’s poetic in its own way and satisfying that Nightbitch wasn’t just locked up somewhere in the end or dead.
