Critics Review
“Goodnight Monsters is a heady, fever-dream concoction of nightmare, fantasy, and half-imagined killings, all emanating from the disturbed brain of a woman who fears she’s losing her grip on reality. Pitting primal feminine desire and rage against the cultural expectations of women and motherhood, Junered has crafted an unforgettably spiky and deeply human heroine as well as a story that will have you wondering what the hell you just read.”—Emily Carpenter, author of Gothictown
“Goodnight Monsters is a twisty exploration of motherhood, marriage, and murder that brazenly probes the extremes of birth and death. Part thriller, part horror, this novel breathtakingly captures the miracle and mayhem that is pregnancy as it builds to its shocking conclusion. Perfect for fans of Anne Heltzel’s Just Like Mother.”—Erin Flanagan, Edgar Award–winning author of Deer Season, Blackout, and Come With Me
“Suzanne Junered’s Goodnight Monsters is a delicious twist on the choices women face with impending motherhood. Incredibly timely in a post-Roe world, with a plot that will keep you guessing all the way to the end.”—Michelle Cruz, author of Even When You Lie
“Goodnight Monsters is delightfully dark and obsessive, so sharp-eyed and full of tension that I haven’t stopped thinking about this book since I started reading. It’s gripping and full of surprises—I have never read a book that tackles the fear of motherhood in such an absorbing way. A must-read for fans of propulsive psychological horror and masterful prose. And that ending. I never saw it coming.”—Penny Zang, author of Doll Parts
“A unique work of psychological horror, Goodnight Monsters is a dark, twisted exploration of marriage, motherhood, and death. Junered blurs the lines between nightmare and reality and kept me guessing until the final page. Bravo!”—K. T. Nguyen, Anthony and Agatha Award–winning author of You Know What You Did
