Motherthing

Title: Motherthing

Author: Ainslie Hogarth

Genre: Horror

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.

Ralph and Abby have a great marriage, but live with Ralph’s mother, Laura, because she needs help. When Laura dies, Ralph thinks her ghost is still around and falls into depression. Abby tries to keep moving forward, but begins to fall apart in a different way.

Abby continues working at a long-term care facility and forms a relationship with Mrs. Bondy (or should I say, forms a bond?), but that doesn’t go well, either. I like a good, weird book, but this one just never came together for me. Abby spends a lot of time reading this cookbook from the 1930s and decides she needs to cook something great for her husband to heal him. And …well… that takes a turn. I liked this book, but it was just okay.
