Acerca de esta escucha
A new mom in need of help opens her door to her long-estranged mother—only to invite something much darker inside—in this "fast-paced and frightening debut" (Rachel Harrison) about the long shadows cast by family secrets, perfect for listeners of Grady Hendrix or Ashley Audrain.
Flora is a new mom enamored of her baby girl, Iris, who has arrived a few weeks early. But with her husband still deployed, Flora must navigate the newborn stage alone. As the sleepless nights pass in the loneliness of their half-empty home, the edges of her reality begin to blur.
Just as Flora becomes convinced she is losing her mind, a surprising guest shows up to help: Flora’s own mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken in years. Can they mend their fraught relationship? Or is there more that Flora’s mother isn’t telling her about the events that led to their estrangement?
As stranger and scarier events unfold, Flora begins to fear that her mother’s secrets have allowed something truly evil to enter her home. She must decide: is her hold on reality slipping dangerously away? Or is she, in fact, the only thing standing between a terrifying visitor and her baby?

I’m a second-rate artist living a solitary existence in my late parents’ rundown house. So why would a team of killers want to murder me and frame it as a suicide? Seems a fact worth knowing. I survive the ordeal only to discover my would-be executioners left behind a suicide note written in words that sound uncannily like mine. But that’s not the most disturbing part. The note reveals a secret from my past nobody could possibly know about—one that’s been haunting my life for eighteen years.

The novel's mood is unsettling from the start, weaving a sense of claustrophobic tension as Flora begins to experience disturbing phenomena: sleep paralysis, nightmares, and an overwhelming fear that she may accidentally harm her newborn. The line between reality and the supernatural blurs as Flora begins to be haunted by both an imaginary friend from her childhood, Zephy, and a series of eerie events, including a mysterious, ancient birth tusk and her encountering beetles around the house.
Walters excels at capturing the emotional turbulence of postpartum depression. As someone who has experienced it firsthand, I found Flora’s journey heartbreakingly authentic, particularly the isolation she feels in her early days as a new mother. The weight of her situation is palpable, and I found myself feeling sympathy and sorrow for Flora as she grapples with both her mental health and her unraveling sense of reality. The novel’s atmosphere is simultaneously haunting and empathetic, particularly as Flora’s emotional fragility begins to blur with supernatural horror.
The plot is darkly unpredictable, with jaw-dropping twists that left me in awe. What starts as a story of a woman coping with postpartum depression gradually transforms into something far more sinister. The supernatural elements—both spectral and psychological—are masterfully integrated, making it impossible to distinguish what is real from what is not. This sense of disorientation keeps you on edge throughout the novel, questioning every character’s intentions and motivations.
The emotional beats of “Dearest” are raw and often heartbreaking. As a mother of three, the first part of the book resonated deeply with me, particularly Flora’s loneliness during a vulnerable time. By the middle of the novel, I found myself devastated for the entire family, as the true nature of Flora’s struggles—and the consequences of those struggles—came into sharp focus. And by the end, I was left in complete shock. The twists are both terrifying and thought-provoking, cementing “Dearest” as a standout in the horror genre.
For readers who enjoy a blend of psychological horror, supernatural thrills, and emotionally charged storytelling, “Dearest” is a must-read. Walters expertly balances the fragile state of motherhood with supernatural terror, creating a narrative that is both profoundly emotional and deeply unsettling. If you're a lover of horror or someone who has experienced the intense vulnerability of postpartum depression, this novel will strike a hauntingly personal chord.
“Dearest” is a gripping, wild ride that leaves an indelible impression.
If you’re in need of postpartum depression support from professional counselors, the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262).
