In this spoiler-free conversation, they explore how the novel uses horror to amplify everyday anxieties around motherhood, bodily autonomy, and identity. Together, they unpack the emotional stakes at the heart of the story, examining how art, obsession, and pregnancy intertwine to blur the line between psychological unease and the supernatural. Along the way, they reflect on the ways domestic life becomes a site of tension, control, and quiet terror and why this chilling read lingers long after the final page. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Books mentioned: Mother is Watching by Karma Brown Play Nice by Rachel Harrison &amp;nbsp; Support and follow our host and guest!
