A gutsy, gory mashup of domestic horror and dark humour * Observer *A gruesome, blackly funny, utterly original feminist horror story * New York Times, Notable Book of 2022 *A dark, moving, hugely entertaining slab of gothic horror....and also very funny * Metro *A disgusting and delightful romp of a book * Big Issue *Filled with sharp, crackling sentences, which bend variously sinister, humorous and sad, Ainslie Hogarths new novel is a stunner. Like Mona Awads Bunny or Ottessa Moshfeghs Eileen, Motherthing is a fabulous, frightening story built from fine, fine prose * Laird Hunt, author of the National Book Award finalist, Zorrie *This novel is bursting with smart, provocative, heart-breaking things to say about the nature of grief and its ability to take up just as much - if not more - physical space than the actual person lost. Motherthing is gory and irreverent and totally irresistible * Courtney Maum, author of Touch *A masterfully crafted horror novel thats by turns humorous and deeply unsettling... Packs a punch * Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW *Profane, insane, hilarious, disgusting - and unexpectedly moving * Kirkus STARRED REVIEW *A smart, taut, hallucinatory book about mothers, daughters, and relationships of care.
