Synopsis

Susannah is twenty-two, eight weeks pregnant, and reluctantly tending bar at a remote Vermont wedding venue when the storm rolls in—and so do the cleaners. Pale, quiet, looking like they stepped out of a different century.
What do they want? The one new thing she’s carrying, something they lost a long time ago. And they will kill to get it.
Susannah’s only weapons are her wits, her friends, and whatever’s been left behind at the bar. Out here in the mountains, that may be the only help that arrives in time.
The Unbegotten is a gothic-toned, supernatural horror story for readers who seek out tragic monsters, small-town dread, and a heroine who’s outmatched, but not out of options.

If you like Paul Tremblay's The Cabin at the End of the World, or any horror story where the thing chasing you used to be human, you’ll want to lock the doors before you start this one.

Editorial reviews:

"...what makes The Unbegotten memorable [is is its refusal] to turn survival into a polished recovery narrative, or its frightening women into simple monsters...The book’s most productive contradiction is that its horror grows from recognizably social dangers—men who grab, bosses who minimize, jobs that leave workers exposed—before it pushes those dangers into a stranger, bodily Gothic register. Readers who want horror that disrupts rather than comforts will find a bracing [and] compelling novel here. The Unbegotten is most effective when it leaves ordinary harm and inexplicable terror tangled, denying an easy boundary between them." -- Scott Olsen, Portland Book Review

"The Unbegotten will have you reading late into the night, and your innards knotting long afterwards. Fast-paced, gutsy horror at its best!" -A.W. Baldwin, best-selling author of Moonlight Mesa
