Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder | howling through motherhood

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Rachel Yoder’s darkly comedic and wildly original novel Nightbitch. The story follows an unnamed mother grappling with the exhaustion of stay-at-home parenthood, feeling isolated and unfulfilled while her husband is constantly away for work. Overwhelmed by the mundane and relentless routine of toddler care, she begins to notice alarming changes—sharper teeth, patches of fur, and primal urges—that suggest she might be transforming into something entirely other: a dog.
