Praise for Trad Wife: “Saratoga Schaefer’s Trad Wife is one of those novels that truly sticks with you. It blends real horrors with the supernatural in a way that’s timely and deeply unsettling. Schaefer delivers a brutal, bloody story that gets under your skin and stays there. My only hope? That a #TradWife stumbles on this book thinking it’s something completely different and ends up along for the ride.” —Capes & Tights “Forget flipping through Baby 411, readers are going to need Baby 911 after meeting the newborn at the sweet, succulent heart of Saratoga Schaefer's surprisingly tender -- and stunningly stomach-turning -- new novel Trad Wife. A Rosemary's Baby for our modern social media mindset, no IG filter can rinse the blood-soaked body horror off your subconscious once you're done devouring this beaut of a book.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes “Saratoga Schaefer's Trad Wife is a gory thrill ride! Imagine Rosemary's Baby, but she's doing it for the 'gram.” —Chelsea Conradt, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Farmhouse “In the tradition of Bret Easton Ellis, Trad Wife takes the domestic dream and rips it wide open, serving up a blood-soaked satire as smart and tender as it is stomach-churning. Deliciously gruesome and surprisingly tender, it’s a razor-edged meditation on losing one’s self; a gory shrine to the things wives and mothers sacrifice on the altar of ‘Womanhood of Old’, and an ode to the raw, untamed authenticity that rises when the monster beneath the apron finally steps free.” —Dawn Kurtagich, Amazon bestselling author of The Thorns and The Madness “A breathless commentary that layers psychological terror and the lies we tell ourselves with the rot that is social media, Trad Wife is a masterpiece that cements Schaefer as the new authority when it comes to horror.” —Maria Tureaud, author of This House Will Feed “Smart, stylish, and savage, Trad Wife is an insidious drop down a well you’ll never climb out of.” —Neena Viel, author of Listen to Your Sister “Sinking your teeth into Saratoga Schaefer's Trad Wife will satisfy every craving you have for raw, visceral horror hidden behind a picture-perfect facade. Timely, terrifying, and touched with humor, this book will chew you up and spit you out and you'll love every second of it.” —C.J. Dotson, author of The Cut
