How Much Shock
Can You Stand
Prepare for a heart-pounding, nail-biting experience with Killer Mother. This suspenseful ride will keep you guessing, page after page, until the shocking climax that you won’t see coming.
Sophia Perkins isn’t your typical horror writer. Indeed, she loves exploring the dark corners of the human psyche, but her debut novel, Killer Mother, adds a surprising touch of romance to the scares.
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Sophia has always been drawn to creative expression. Throughout her adolescence and early adulthood, she found solace in journaling and using words to explore her emotions, thoughts, and experiences. But it wasn’t until her mid-20s that a spark ignited a passion for fiction writing, particularly the fascinating world of horror.
Killer Mother tells the chilling tale of Charlotte, a young woman who harbors dark secrets and a deadly past. Despite being the protagonist, she is a paradox, a character brimming with contradictions. Struggling with a troubled upbringing and an abusive husband, Charlotte finds solace in her daughter, Zoe. But as their lives unravel, Charlotte’s love turns possessive and destructive, leading to sinister games and deadly consequences. As Zoe deals with her mother’s evil intentions and discovers love in unexpected places, she must confront the terrifying truth about her family before it’s too late. This genre-bending horror novel travels around the themes of love, betrayal, and the darkness that lurks within us all.
“Okay, I finished Killer Mother, and let me tell you, I NEED to talk about it with someone. This book isn’t just scary. It burrows into your brain and sets up camp. Charlotte is one messed-up character, but honestly, Sophia writes her in a way that makes you weirdly understand her. It’s been days, and I still have chills! This is a MUST-READ for horror fans who are sick of the same old stuff.”
