Nightbitch / Rachel Yoder.
One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else. An artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced she's turning into a dog. The mother quit her job to stay at home with her two-year-old son and the experience has not matched her imagination. One day, she steps into the bathroom for a respite from the demands of her toddler only to discover a dense patch of hair on her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. As the mother's symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give into her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multi-level marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. An original novel of ideas about art, power and womanhood wrapped in an satirical fairy tale.
