Rachel Eve Moulton’s horror novella begins with an eerie scene. Thea is at home with her husband, her two sweet-tempered sons and her new baby, Lucia, who Thea is convinced is a monster. Thea brings Lucia out to the backyard coop to gather eggs, and the second her back is turned three-month-old Lucia gleefully decapitates a chicken. Is it time to reveal Thea’s suspicions? From where did her baby inherit these monstrous tendencies? The questions pile up as Lucia’s hunger grows.
