Delicate Condition

Product Information

A tale of pending motherhood and all it entails and more. The question of loyalty of friends and husbands/partners. I don’t want to say what aspect of horror this is for spoiler purposes, but it’s not a horror sub-genre that I usually go for. With this book, I absolutely loved it. This book starts as a thriller, then crescendos into horror as the book goes on. It has really cool little stories from centuries ago interspersed, of women who have also been affected by Anna’s maladies, and that just added to the suspense. Named a summer book to watch by The Washington Post, Boston Globe, USA Today, Oprah, Paste, Country Living, Good Housekeeping, and Nerd Daily

Delicate Condition” is a suspenseful exploration of fear, paranoia, and the unbearable tension of a woman’s nightmarish ordeal. So much so that Anna begins to wonder if someone, somehow, is interfering with her body – does someone not want her to have this baby?Fabulously original. A deeply unsettling read that plays on women's darkest fears of pregnancy." — Gemma Rogers, author of The Secret D'Alessandro, Anthony (September 21, 2023). " 'American Horror Story: Delicate' TV Review: Kim Kardashian Posh 'Rosemary's Baby' Season 12 Opener Keeps Up". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved September 21, 2023. I’ve been a fan of Danielle Valentine for years. As a teenager I read “The Merciless” series written under her pen name Danielle Vega, and fell in love with her writing style and characters. In the world of literature, there exist certain novels that have the remarkable ability to transport readers into the realms of horror and suspense with such vividness that it’s akin to watching a chilling movie unfold before their eyes. The Push meets The Silent Patient in a gripping thriller that follows a woman convinced a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens—while the men in her life refuse to believe a word she says.

A timely, terrifying, heartfelt thriller. I devoured it in one sitting." ―Chris Whitaker, bestselling author of We Begin at the EndOn April 24, Cara Delevingne was spotted filming scenes for the season with Roberts.

It starts out relatable and creepy and then it gets more and more terrifying. I believe this will be one of those books that becomes part of our culture, like Rosemary's baby. Kim McCreight's thrillers are smart, propulsive and impossible to put down." —Laura Dave, author of The Last Thing He Told Me The paranoia Anna experiences is so well written. Where so many books in this genre play up to the unreliable female protagonist trope this book explores a woman who is frequently dismissed and disregarded as exactly that, but is she really?! Through the lens of women accessing healthcare; where they are often fobbed off, downplayed and ignored, this book explores the female experience of medical gaslighting in such a nuanced way. I felt it was totally relatable in that sense. Of course is it hyperbolised here, mingled in with some good old gothic horror and a bit of domestic thriller action but it says something bolder than the usual thriller.

The darkness and deftly woven claustrophobic feeling was really vivid. I’m looking forward to recommending this heartily. JustWatch - US Top 10 Movies and TV Shows - 25th September - 1st October 2023". SpoilerTV. October 4, 2023 . Retrieved October 4, 2023.
