Rachel Eve Moulton, author of The Insatiable Volt Sisters, returns with Tantrum—a sharp, chilling novel that sinks its teeth into the dark side of motherhood. It begins with a birth: a baby girl with a full set of teeth, an unblinking stare, and a hunger that can’t be reasoned with. Her name is Lucia—and from the moment Thea holds her, she knows something isn’t right.
As the child grows faster and hungrier, Thea’s carefully buried memories start to surface, pulling her into a spiral of dread, maternal instinct, and something far more primal.
In our conversation, Moulton teases the unsettling roots of Tantrum, the blurred line between fear and love, and the strange, monstrous intensity of early motherhood. We touch on family trauma, memory as horror, and what it means to raise something that might devour you—literally or otherwise.
Watch below for a conversation full of unease, insight, and just enough humor to keep the shadows moving.
Because family ties cut deep… and baby teeth cut deeper.
Tantrum is available on Aug 05, 2025 and can be pre-ordered here now.
