A mother is the ultimate feral creature…
New mom Sadie is struggling with the reality of caring for her three-month-old daughter—the loss of identity, autonomy, and selfhood are grinding her down. When a casual stroll with the baby leads to the discovery of a secret trail leading to a miniature door hidden deep in the woods, Sadie’s world unravels even further. Who put the door there? Why does the trail only appear when Sadie is alone? Why is the door surrounded by a clearing full of tiny bones?
And, most terrifying of all: What lives behind that door, and what will it do to her baby?
Claustrophobic, rage-filled, and brimming with the chaos of new parenthood, Ripped Up the Middle in Two is the dark fairy tale you’ve been craving.
