"Unforgettable." The New York Times "Lyrical and atmospheric." Bustle "A satiating psychological horror tale." Cultured Vultures SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE APRIL 2019 LIBRARY READS PICK Mother knows best takes on a sinister new meaning in this unsettling thriller perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Grimms Fairy Tales, and Aimee Molloy's The Perfect Mother. Everyone says Lauren Tranter is exhausted, that she needs rest. And they re right; with newborn twins, Morgan and Riley, she s never been more tired in her life. But she knows what she saw: that night, in her hospital room, a woman tried to take her babies and replace them with her own...creatures. Yet when the police arrived, they saw no one. Everyone, from her doctor to her husband, thinks she s imagining things. A month passes. And one bright summer morning, the babies disappear from Lauren s side in a park. But when they re found, something is different about them. The infants look like Morgan and Riley to everyone else. But to Lauren, something is off. As everyone around her celebrates their return, Lauren begins to scream, These are not my babies. Determined to bring her true infant sons home, Lauren will risk the unthinkable. But if she s wrong about what she saw...she ll be making the biggest mistake of her life. Compulsive, creepy, and inspired by some of our darkest fairy tales, Little Darlings will have you checking and rechecking your own little ones. Just to be sure. Just to be safe.
