“Viggy Parr Hampton takes the ordeal of a young woman victimized by a medical tragedy and the hidden anger of a parentified daughter and alchemizes both into a deliriously unsettling tale about two sisters dealing with an all-too-realistic historical horror. Brooding and twisted, but beautiful in its honesty, A Veritable Household Pet will chill you to the bone as it simultaneously breaks your heart.”
—Paulette Kennedy, bestselling author of The Devil and Mrs. Davenport
“Painful, tragic, horrifying—yet achingly beautiful. A powerful novel about sisterhood, independence, freedom, and the fragile value of our minds and bodies. I wanted to cry, to scream, to rage—and still I could not look away. I have borne witness. Now I hope you will too.”
—Dawn Kurtagich, award-winning author of The Thorns and The Madness
“A blistering indictment of patriarchal power — A Veritable Household Pet is a luminous, tragic, and unputdownable story of the nightmare that is the theft of autonomy and identity, a quiet and constant terror women know all too well.”
—Haley Newlin, author of The Film You Are About to See and Take Your Turn, Teddy
“This book twisted my guts, my heart, and my head. Something precisely like this probably did happen somewhere, sometime. What could be more tragic than that?”
—Ben Young, author of Home
