Nightbitch

Get ready for the world premiere of Nightbitch at this year’s festival! This blazingly smart and voracious debut novel follows an artist-turned-stay-at-home mom who becomes convinced she’s turning into a dog. 

"A must-read for anyone captivated by the ever-blurring line between the psychological and supernatural that shows like Yellowjackets bring to life." — Vulture

One day, she’s just a mother; the next, she feels like something entirely different…

After putting her art career on hold to raise her newborn son, she quickly realizes that motherhood isn’t what she imagined. Two years later, while sneaking a moment of peace in the bathroom, she notices a patch of fur growing on the back of her neck and her teeth appearing unnervingly sharper. Her husband, frequently away on business, dismisses her concerns from faraway hotel rooms.

As her symptoms worsen and her canine urges intensify, she struggles to keep her transformation a secret. In a desperate search for answers, she finds solace in a mysterious book, "A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography", and connects with a group of mothers in a strange multilevel-marketing scheme who might also have hidden identities.

Nightbitch is a wildly original exploration of art, power, and womanhood, wrapped in a satirical fairy tale that will leave you howling with laughter and recognition. And yes, you should howl—loudly and often.
