Unborn

Ten little fingers and ten little toes Two little eyes and one little nose Congratulations... you're having a baby These words can bring elation as the culmination of love, the miracle of creating life between two people who love each other very much. They can also strike immeasurable fear into the person who hears them. Shame, horror, years of responsibility. It may well be the very last thing that person wants to hear. Susan Seagraves' reaction to the news of a baby was instant dread. She refused to believe it could be happening to her. She was simply not ready for any of this. She was still young, with her whole life ahead of her. She instantly hated the small life form growing - in the stomach of her best friend. As the pregnancy progresses, Susan becomes sure the child is more than it seems. A product of a drunken night out at a rock concert, she feels something is very wrong with the unborn child. She is convinced something terrifying is growing in Kath's belly. Vile dreams, veiled threats, a growing existential dread that the pregnancy could be a threat to the whole world... or is it all just in her head? Unborn is the latest, unnerving novel of psychological horror, from DE McCLUSKEY, author of: THE BOYFRIEND, ZOLA, THE TWELVE, CRACK, and REBOOT
