Megan Abbott’s Beware the Woman is the story of Jacy, a pregnant woman who spends a week with her husband, Jed, at his father’s cottage in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The isolated setting and the strange characters that surround the husband’s strange father creates a gothic atmosphere. Everything feels just a little bit off and sinister, creating an ongoing sense of anxiety. Gradually, the situation takes shape and Jacy realizes she has to escape before she and her unborn child meet a terrible fate. Totally creepy and extremely well done. Kirkus Reviews calls it an unsettling, nightmare-inducing morsel:
