<b>In this electric horror novel from the author of <i>The Insatiable Volt Sisters</i>, an exhausted mother thinks her newborn might be a monster. She's <i>right</i>.</b> <p>Thea's third pregnancy was her easiest. She wasn't consumed with anxiety about the baby. She wasn't convinced it was going to be born green, or have a third eye, or have tentacles sprouting from its torso. Thea was fine. Her baby would be <i>fine</i>. </p><p>But when the nurses handed Lucia to her, Thea just knew. Her baby girl was a monster. Not only was Lucia born with a full set of teeth and a devilish glint in her eye, but she's always hungry. Indiscriminately so. One day Lucia pointed at her baby brother, looked Thea dead in the eye and said, "I eat." </p><p>Thea doesn't know whether to be terrified or proud of her rapacious baby girl. And as Lucia starts growing faster and talking more, dark memories bubble to the surface--flashes from Thea's childhood that won't release their hooks from her heart. Lucia wants to eat the world. Thea might just let her. </p><p>Crackling with originality and dark humor, Rachel Eve Moulton's <i>Tantrum</i> is a provocative exploration of familial debt, duty, and the darker side of motherhood.</p>
