Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books You'll Like My Mother

Forget zombies, vampires and werewolves. Meet the most terrifying creature ever to walk the earth...
a mother-in-law!

After a troubled past, Francesca falls hard for Matthew. Following a whirlwind courtship and quickie wedding, he's off to Vietnam but is killed on his way there. Months later, a VERY pregnant Francesca decides it's time to meet Matthew's mother, a woman he promised she would like.

He was wrong.

Imagine being met at the door by a woman exclaiming, "You came at an unfortunate time. It was necessary to drown the kittens."

Oh, it gets better.

She then goes on to say, "Our Siamese mated with an alley cat. The kittens were no good...as is always true of any species when a thoroughbred mates with a mongrel." Her eyes moved over me, came back to my face. And then, almost instantly, as if to deny any intended slur in her words, she gave me that big, brilliant Mother-of-the-Year smile, held it.

As you might imagine, things go downhill from there.

There was a great, creepy buildup during the first half of the book, but then...well, not much. It ended the way I wanted it to, but everything seemed a bit too convenient and tidy.

I've got to hand it to my husband for his honesty. He NEVER told me I'd like his mother.
In fact, after meeting her, I told him, "Gee, your mom's really nice." "No, she's not!" he snapped.

So, you can't say I wasn't warned.

Judge Epithetical Books You'll Like My Mother

Just a silly little gothic suspense novel. Fun if you don't want your brain to have to do any heavy lifting.

"Die! Die! My darling!"Need I say more?

Better than I expected judging from the cheesy cover.

One of the most unnerving mysteries I have ever read. Even to this day, I remember how frightening I found it. Great Story-telling!!

Suspenseful! It was an easy read that was full of action the whole way through.

I came across this book in a used book store, liked the title and cover and bought it. Found it much better than expected. Really glad I discovered it. I wonder if the writer wrote any other books?

This is an excellent novel of horror written in the gothic romance tradition.Read in one sitting.Read my full review on my bloghttp://gothicromancereviews.blogspot....
