What to expect

'Trad Wife is terrifying . . . a surreal and slick feminist feast'
Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

Your favourite influencer is about to be exposed . . .

Every day, millions watch Mia Wright, the "trad wife" queen, on her idyllic 300-acre farm. With her handsome husband, seven perfect children, and a life of from-scratch meals, she's an icon of modern femininity. But behind every perfect image is a lie.

Desperate to save her tarnished career, journalist Jenny Kaplan arrives at Black Swan Farm to profile Mia. Jenny is ready to write a scathing exposé, determined to uncover the deception behind Mia's curated life.

But there's something wrong at the farmhouse.

It slithers through Jenny's dreams when the children sing strange nursery rhymes at night. She's losing time. She's losing her hair. She starts to worry that she's losing her mind.

There is a horror at the heart of Black Swan, and it's waiting just for Jenny.

‘A genre beast — menacing, claustrophobic, and wholly unexpected.’
Mariana Enriquez, New York Times bestselling author of Our Share of Night

Critics Review

Contemporary, gripping and wry, Trad Wife is a surreal and slick feminist feast for the senses that kept me thinking long after I finished the final page. A terrifying delight! Sarah Langan is the queen of modern horror.
Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes
A genre beast — menacing, claustrophobic, and wholly unexpected. The novel never does what you expect as a reader. I really enjoyed it
Mariana Enriquez, New York Times bestselling author of Our Share of Night
Flat out brilliant!
Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie
Insanely creepy, wildly entertaining and razor-sharp
Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl on Good Neighbours
Filtered through an influencer’s ring light Langan combines the low grade nausea of domestic horror and dread of a more sublime nature - the result is ridiculously impressive and damnably frightening
FanFiAddict
I loved [Good Neighbours] so much, every word, every page, every painful surprise. I've been screaming the title to all who will listen
Sarah Jessica Parker, Golden Globe Award-winning actress on Good Neighbours
An all-American horror novel about friendships - deep, shallow, toxic, true - that's unpredictable enough to make every page-turn stomach-crampingly stressful.
Grady Hendrix, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls on Good Neighbours
A methodic, apron-clad dread that gets under your skin and stays there . . . Smart, feminist horror that builds a world so recognisable its eventual, terrifying unravelling feels both shocking and inevitable . . . This novel doesn’t just want to scare you; it wants to make you understand why you were already afraid
