Baby Teeth
by Zoje Stage
Baby Teeth drops you directly into a domestic nightmare, where the most unsettling presence in the house is a seven-year-old girl. Hanna, seemingly sweet and silent to her adoring father, Alex, directs a chilling campaign of psychological warfare against her mother, Suzette. As Suzette's health and sanity fray under Hanna's relentless manipulation and silent defiance, you'll find yourself caught in a suffocating battle of wills. This book isn't about jump scares; it's a slow, agonizing burn of psychological suspense that makes you question everything. The narrative masterfully plays with gaslighting and unreliable perspectives, leaving you to wonder if Suzette is truly losing her mind, or if her daughter harbors a truly sinister agenda. It's a deeply unnerving read for anyone who enjoys dark family dramas and stories where the true horror lies in the human mind, especially when that mind belongs to a child.
