From the New York Times bestselling author of The Children on the Hill, a chilling psychological thriller “that delivers both chilling scares and genuine emotion” (Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author) about a woman who takes in her dying, alcoholic mother—only to fear that something far more demonic has come home with her.

Alison has never been a fan of Christmas. But with it right around the corner and her husband busily decorating their cozy Vermont home, she has no choice but to face it. Then she gets the call.

Mavis, Alison’s estranged mother, has been diagnosed with cancer and has only weeks to live. She wants to spend her remaining days with her daughter’s family. But Alison grew up with her mother’s alcoholism and violent abuse and is reluctant to unearth these traumatic memories. Still, she eventually agrees to take in Mavis, hoping that she and her mother could finally heal and have the relationship she’s always dreamed of.

But when mysterious and otherworldly things start happening upon Mavis’s arrival, Alison begins to suspect her mother is not quite who she seems. And as the holiday festivities turn into a nightmare, she must confront just how far she is willing to go to protect her family in this “twisty, propulsive, character-driven, and hair-raisingly scary” (Nick Cutter, author of The Troop) novel.

Mavis may have come alone, but she most certainly isn't alone, as Alison soon discovers. In her efforts to protect her family, most importantly, her youngest daughter, Alison runs the risk of being deemed the unstable one. However, time is running out, so she must do what she needs to do to break the curse before it's too late.

This author can really write a thriller!

My Darling Girl captures the light and dark of mother/daughter relationships. The twists of this tale will have the reader wondering over the fine line between psychological thriller and horror. Performed perfectly by Hillary Huber with Kitty Hendrix, My Darling Girl makes the brain buzz.

Holidays with a hint of horror…

I really enjoyed this for the most part. Creepy concept to good effect. I like when horror is a fictional (supernatural) expression of real human fears/anxieties/trauma. I saw the end coming fairly early on, but it still worked.

Solid horror, no gore
