Publisher Description A deeply unsettling and shocking feminist horror novel from a bold new talent, Kristi DeMeester.A biting novel from an electrifying new voice, Such a Pretty Smile is a heart-stopping tour-deforce about powerful women, angry men, and all the ways in which girls fight against the forces that try to silence them.Theres something out there thats killing. Known only as The Cur, he leaves no traces, save for the torn bodies of girls, on the verge of becoming women, who are known as trouble-makers; those who refuse to conform, to know their place. Girls who dont know when to shut up.2019: Thirteen-year-old Lila Sawyer has secrets she cant share with anyone. Not the school psychologist shes seeing. Not her father, who has a new wife, and a new baby. And not her mother - the infamous Caroline Sawyer, a unique artist whose eerie sculptures, made from bent twigs and crimped leaves, have made her a local celebrity. But soon Lila feels haunted from within, terrorized by a delicious evil that shows her how to find her voice - until she is punished for using it.2004: Caroline Sawyer hears dogs everywhere. Snarling, barking, teeth snapping that no one else seems to notice. At first, she blames the phantom sounds on her insomnia and her acute stress in caring for her ailing father. But then the delusions begin to take shape - both in her waking hours, and in the violent, visceral sculptures she creates while in a trance-like state. Her fiance is convinced she needs help. Her new psychiatrist waives her problem away with pills. But Carolines past is a dark cellar, filled with repressed memories and a lurking horror that the men around her cant understand.Wonderfully well written; the dread, the enigma, build with each scene. Its coming of age, its family secrets, its life in the balance, too. Its Thomas Harris, its Lois Duncan...but no, its Kristi DeMeester, in complete confident control of your experience. An outstanding story in outstanding hands. - Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and MalorieKristi DeMeesters novel is a menacing, mysterious, and righteously angry fever dream, one that hooks into you from page one.
