Title: Baby Teeth

Author: Zoje Stage

Published: July 2018, St. Martin’s Press

Format: Hardcover, 320 pages

Summary:

Sweetness can be deceptive. 

 
 

Meet Hanna.

She’s the sweet-but-silent angel in the
adoring eyes of her Daddy. He’s the only person who understands her, and
all Hanna wants is to live happily ever after with him. But Mommy
stands in her way, and she’ll try any trick she can think of to get rid
of her. Ideally for good.

Meet Suzette.

She loves her
daughter, really, but after years of expulsions and strained home
schooling, her precarious health and sanity are weakening day by day. As
Hanna’s tricks become increasingly sophisticated, and Suzette’s husband
remains blind to the failing family dynamics, Suzette starts to fear
that there’s something seriously wrong, and that maybe home isn’t the
best place for their baby girl after all.

Early Praise:

“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

“We Need to Talk About Kevin meets Gone Girl meets The Omen. Baby Teeth is
a twisty, delirious read that will constantly question your sympathies
for the two characters as their bond continues to crumble.” ―Ew.com

“A deliciously creepy read.” ―New York Post

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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
