A high wire act of a novel that expertly balances the uncanny and quotidian moments of early motherhood. Yoder's writing is graceful, funny and unnerving as hell.--JENNY OFFILL, New York Times bestselling author of Weather and Dept. of Speculation In this blazingly smart and voracious debut, an artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced she's turning into a dog. 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.

Today, I'm finding it very easy to relate to the MC of this book, who doesn't quite know who (or what) she turns into at night. Yesterday, I got the new covid booster and a flu shot and must have had a reaction, because at 6am my partner heard a loud noise and woke up to find me in the hallway, having apparently fallen and smashed my face through the drywall, with no idea where I was or how I got there. 😬 I'm pretty scraped up, but okay.

I'm trying to fill in the last few gaps in my #AlphabetSoup challenge for this year (I'm doing author AND title). I haven't managed to read anything by a Y author yet, and I've had this one sitting on my kindle, so... I do love really ducking weird speculative fiction, so this one should be fun.

Hurricane weather means that I can finally finish this book and…???? Maybe it‘s because I‘m not the intended audience (over educated, yes, but I am not and don‘t plan on having kids), but Nightbitch just didn‘t hit the way I know it has for other people. Also, I have two black cats and that one scene was almost enough for me to DNF. ⭐️⭐️✨

Be prepared for bodily fluids, the developing of fur and the killing of small rodents. The mother (aka Nightbitch) has a small son and a husband who works away with a better paid job, so she is now forced to stay at home. Slowly she feels she is becoming a dog and gives in to those primal urges. A visceral portrayal of motherhood, “working” vs “stay at home” and the mindlessness of early motherhood. Despite my initial misgivings, I enjoyed this 👇

JillR Like Ottessa Moshfegh‘s writing, I didn‘t enjoy all of it, but I couldn‘t stop reading and I really want to see what the author writes next. 10mo
squirrelbrain Great review! I haven‘t read this, but keep wondering about it. 10mo
JillR @squirrelbrain I read it for book group and really didn‘t fancy it, so was surprised when I enjoyed it! It‘s very readable, goes completely weird with the dig bits but we all agreed we let those bits float over our heads 😆. As I said above, has a slight flavour of Ottessa Moshfegh is some ways… It was also a nice quick read 10mo

This is a bizarre, yet disturbingly accurate depiction of being a stay-at-home mom. It captures how entirely consuming early motherhood can be while trying to reimagine your identity as an individual apart from your child. The mother in the story is losing herself, then unexpectedly begins a strange transformation that puts her in touch with a new powerful sense of self. It is the weirdest book I‘ve read in a long time, but totally compelling.

An uncomfortable read, particularly for a childfree vegetarian cat mom 😂

But I am enjoying this trend of mad as hell women, &shameless talk about bodily fluids &primal urges. & being fed up with gender roles & bias in society.

Yoder‘s writing is visceral & aggressive & unique. 🐺

At about 30% - Wasn‘t sure about it initially, it will probably really resonate with Mothers of young children who can admit that kids (& pets & husbands) are annoying 😂 (no judgement if you are well balanced &don‘t think that) it is not my particular headspace but I‘m enjoying this re-emerging of women being mad af in popular literature.

Still not sure if she‘s turning into an animal or if this is the general body horror of being a woman 💅

I think if this was a novella I would have lapped it up but the longer this book went on, the less engaged I became until I ultimately lost my taste for this one. A promising start and accurate description of early motherhood, gender roles/expectations, parenting and personal fulfillment. But than it became redundant and over the top and all together unnecessary. Great audio narration though! I still think the cover & title are fab 🥰

I think all mothers can identify with Nightbitch at some point . A stay at home mom, struggles with the demands and monotony of caring for her toddler as well as the loss of a sense of identity and ambition. Her husband is traveling for work and she‘s doing all the emotional work as well as the actual housework. Then she begins to discover a strange transformation that eventually leads to her finding herself again.

For the following 17 days I will be posting daily about a favorite book that I have read so far this year. I know that 17 is an odd number, but this is the number that I came up with after looking through the books I read & I simply couldn't eliminate any of these.I will be posting these in the chronological order that I read them in from the beginning of the year. Rachel Yoder's Nightbitch is one of my favorite “types“ of books. Lit fic with

vivastory an absurdist or speculative element, smart social commentary & memorable characters. Yoder delivered on all fronts. This one was already on my radar, but I made it a priority at the beginning of the year thanks to @megabooks #NewYearWhoDis list. I recently saw that Amy Adams is slated to star in the upcoming adaptation. I can't wait. #BestMidYear22 2y

I have no idea how to talk about this most unusual story…. On one hand, it‘s about a new mom who gave up her career in art to stay home with her little boy and now thinks she‘s turning into a dog. On the other, it‘s commentary on gender roles and finding fulfillment in life. It‘s horrifying and very out there, but yet I could relate to many of her feelings when I was a young SAHM. #bookspinbingo #doublespin
