The Bog Wife by Kay Chronister: Since time immemorial, the Haddesley family has tended the cranberry bog. In exchange, the bog sustains them. The staunch seasons of their lives are governed by a strict covenant that is renewed each generation with the ritual sacrifice of their patriarch, and in return, the bog produces a “bog-wife.” Brought to life from vegetation, this woman is meant to carry on the family line. But when the bog fails–or refuses–to honor the bargain, the Haddesleys face an unknown future.
Why Molly recommends it: Equal parts Mexican Gothic and The Yellow Wallpaper, this latest offering from Chronister is also my new favourite eco-horror. This story’s gnawing anxiety and slow, creeping dread is somehow told in a brisk manner.
