Rachel Yoder knows exactly why she wrote her bestselling debut novel, Nightbitch. “After the 2016 US elections, I was in shock and I was also vibrating with anger.” Facing Donald Trump’s first term, she didn’t know what to do with all her “rage and disbelief and confusion” – especially because she was experiencing the same feelings about early motherhood.
Published in 2021, Nightbitch is a strange and unforgettable story about a sleep-deprived stay-at-home mother who, after apparently growing extra nipples, sharper canine teeth and a tail, develops an “exhilarating and magical” ability to literally become a powerful bitch.
