Mama wasn't always scared of me.
Oliver remembers when things were different. When Mama would hold him, dress him up for videos, tell everyone how special he was. Now he spends his days in the basement, in a room with padded walls and a door that locks from the outside. Mama says it's for his own good. That he's getting too big, too strong, and too dangerous. When Case Officer, Kim arrives asking questions Mama doesn't want to answer, everything changes. Oliver isn't allowed to exist anymore, not officially. Not according to the death certificate Mama forged, or the plan she's hatched to keep him hidden forever. But isolation changes people. Hunger changes them more. And Oliver has been so very, very hungry.
Told through multiple perspectives, this slow-burn psychological horror novel builds to a shocking revelation that will make you question everything you've read. This is a story about the lengths a mother will go to protect what she loves, and what happens when that protection becomes a prison.
