Suburban Hell by Maureen Kilmer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the ARC. This review is my honest opinion.
This was an absolutely fantastic horror debut. I really love horror that juxtaposes the horrors of everyday life with even more sinister things. For example, Buffy the Vampire Slayer did a really good job at showing that vampires weren't the only monsters - high school could also be hell, parents could die, relationships were hard. Suburban Hell showed that being an adult is difficult, but even more so that being a mother in today's world is challenging. Women still face societal expectations of filling the subservient role of childrearing and housekeeping, and men seem to find excuses to not carry their share of the burden.
But alongside this, we also see a group of friends face off against a possession... and that entity wants them DESTROYED.
Absolutely loved this book. Highly recommended for horror fans.
