Summary:
"One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else . . . In this blazingly smart and raucous debut, an artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced she's turning into a dog. The mother quit her job to stay at home with her two-year-old son and the experience has not matched her imagination. One day, she steps into the bathroom for a respite from the demands of her toddler only to discover a dense patch of hair on 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 into 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 multi-level marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. A thrillingly original novel of ideas about art, power and womanhood wrapped in an 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."--Publisher.
