""A brilliant, biting collection, the works in MOTHER KNOWS BEST give new, visceral meaning to the phrase mommy issues. At times heartfelt and always horrifying, with every piece the all-consuming mother digs her teeth in deeper and, oh, it hurts so good."" - Katrina Monroe, author of Graveyard of Lost Children ""Deliciously evocative and revealing...Not for the faint of heart."" --Midwest Book Review ""Twisted caregiving and inescapably tainted love abound in this intimate and visceral anthology from editor Ryan... These chilling tales impress."" --Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW ""Monstrous mothers, abusive but still human mothers, controlling mothers, neglectful mothers--this book is full of them. The horror is anything but shy, as some of these stories truly are horrific."" -- The Horror Tree Review
