Named one of "Summer 2018's Must-Read Mysteries & Thrillers" by
Bookish
"Unnerving and unputdownable, BABY TEETH will get under your skin
and keep you trapped in its chilling grip until the shocking
conclusion." --New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline
"Propulsive." --The New York Times Book Review "You might want to
cover your eyes." --Entertainment Weekly, "The Must List" "A
deliciously creepy read." --New York Post "Baby Teeth is one of the
most original books in the horror genre. It has one of the most
memorable protagonists who will stay with you for a long
while."--Forbes "Baby Teeth is a mesmerizing thriller that
effectively taps into deep-seated anxieties that any parent will
find uncomfortably familiar. Hard to put down and harder to forget,
the book will delight readers looking for an escape over the
summer." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "A stay-at-home mom desperately
tries to connect with her mute 7-year-old daughter, whose
disturbing behavior continues to escalate in this gripping debut
novel from an indie screenwriter." --InStyle "We bet that parents
will find this novel particularly unsettling." --Bookish
"Deliciously creepy...the author keeps the suspense taut...offering
a terrifying glimpse into the inner thoughts of a budding
sociopath." --Library Journal (starred) "Tightly plotted, expertly
choreographed.... Stage palpably conveys Suzette's fear, anger,
frustration, and desperation while exploring the deleterious
effects that motherhood can have on one's marriage and self-worth.
...Stage fuses horror with domestic suspense to paint an
unflinching portrait of childhood psychopathy and maternal regret."
--Kirkus (starred) "Stage's deviously fun debut takes child-rearing
anxiety to demented new heights. Stage expertly crafts this creepy,
can't-put-it-down thriller into a fearless exploration of parenting
and marriage that finds the cracks in unconditional love."
--Publishers Weekly (starred) "A totally engaging and unnerving
read. Debut novelist Stage has convincingly created one of the
youngest villains ever, and readers will be unable to resist the
urge to meet Hanna." --Booklist "Zoje Stage's Baby Teeth is
cunning, sharp, and nasty, and wickedly funny until it isn't funny
anymore. This intelligent, unrelenting, layered shocker can stand
proudly alongside classics like The Other and The Butcher Boy, with
their 'evil' children uncannily reflecting our own sins." --Paul
Tremblay, nationally bestselling author of A Head Full of Ghosts
and The Cabin at the End of the World
"Every time we read the premise of Baby Teeth, all the hair on the
back of our neck stands up. Simply put, it's about a sweet little
girl who wants to kill her mother. And it. Is. Bonkers. Do you have
goosebumps yet?" --HelloGiggles "Imagine WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT
KEVIN only with insight into what Kevin was thinking--and if Eva
had fought back. This dark, terrifying novel unfolds as a battle of
wits between a struggling mother and her psychotic young
daughter--and its genius is that the reader's allegiance isn't
allowed to linger too long on either side. You'll be desperate to
discuss the ending once you've recovered from the shock of it. A
must-read." --Catherine Ryan Howard, USA Today bestselling author
of Distress Signals "'Maybe it had been a mistake, trying to set
Mommy on fire.'--
Yeah, it's that kind of book
--and oh, is it good! Don't miss this riveting debut by a stunning
new voice in horror!"--
J.D. Barker, International Bestselling Author of The Fourth Monkey
and Dracul "Baby Teeth is electrifyingly creepy. It calls to mind
the great monster children of The Fifth Child or We Need to Talk
About Kevin, but has a devilish tension all its own. Twisted,
playful, and deeply unsettling, Zoje Stage's debut announces her as
a new voice worth celebrating."--Colin Winnette, author of The Job
of the Wasp "Baby Teeth is deeply unsettling in the best possible
way. Absolutely unforgettable and unflinching, it digs right into
the painful nerve of family, obligation and dependence--it's a hell
of a debut." --Kelly Braffet, author of Save Yourself
