The Art of Racing in the Rain…in reverse.
— Aurora
If you had to put your career on hold to raise a terror of a toddler with minimal support from your traveling salesman husband, while also dodging the other neighborhood mothers trying to get you to join their pyramid scheme selling essential oils, wouldn't YOU also want to shed your own skin and become something else entirely (in this case, a canine)?
— Melanie
An exhausted mother, beaten down by her snuffed out artistic career, begins a transformation - one of teeth, claws, fur, mud, and raw meat. If you, like me, are drawn to stories of women descending into the most feral, most beastlike parts of their animalhood, this may be the book for you.

This book is part horror, part satire, part myth, and all heart. It captures the intense loneliness, wild love, and suppressed rage that can come with caring for a child in a world that undervalues both women and their labor. Yoder’s writing is darkly funny and full of sharp insight, perfect for readers who like their fiction weird and their themes deeply resonant.

“At once weird, darkly funny, moving, relatable, and deliciously messed up, Nightbitch is a rallying howl to women, and especially mothers, everywhere.”
