ABOUT JUST LIKE MOTHER
Spine-chilling and sharp, Anne Heltzel's Just Like Mother is a modern gothic from a fresh new voice in horror, and “is set to be one of the year's most talked about books” (Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author).
The last time Maeve saw her cousin was the night she escaped the cult they were raised in. For the past two decades, Maeve has worked hard to build a normal life in New York City, where she keeps everything—and everyone—at a safe distance.
When Andrea suddenly reappears, Maeve regains the only true friend she’s ever had. Soon she’s spending more time at Andrea’s remote Catskills estate than in her own cramped apartment. Maeve doesn’t even mind that her cousin’s wealthy work friends clearly disapprove of her single lifestyle. After all, Andrea has made her fortune in the fertility industry—baby fever comes with the territory.
The more Maeve immerses herself in Andrea’s world, the more disconnected she feels from her life back in the city; and the cousins’ increasing attachment triggers memories Maeve has fought hard to bury. But confronting the terrors of her childhood may be the only way for Maeve to transcend the nightmare still to come…
ABOUT ANNE HELTZEL
Anne Heltzel has written and ghostwritten nearly a dozen books for people of all ages (many under pseudonyms). She moved to New York City in 2006 to enter an MFA program at The New School, and from there got her first job in publishing at a literary agency. Now in addition to writing books, she works as an editorial director at Abrams Books, where she specializes in entertainment publishing and content development in the children's division. She recently relocated from Brooklyn to an old house in the Hudson Valley with her partner (he is also a horror writer!) and their hyperactive cattle dog.
