Maternal Hauntings and Surveillance in Mother is Watching
CW: Child death, Miscarriage, Infertility, Blood, Grief, Death of Parent, Dementia Marlena and Mariquita discuss , the horror debut by Karma Brown. In this spoiler-free conversation, they explore how the novel uses horror to amplify everyday anxieties around motherhood, bodily autonomy, and identity. Together, they unpack the emotional stakes at the heart of the story, examining how art, obsession, and pregnancy intertwine to blur the line between psychological unease and the supernatural. Along the way, they reflect on the ways domestic life becomes a site of tension, control, and quiet terror and why this chilling read lingers long after the final page.
