Beth's sister left her the one thing she'd always wanted. Something is determined to take it away.
Beth has wanted a child her whole life. Her sister Lucy knew that — and made sure to remind her of it, repeatedly, in the way only a sister can. When Lucy dies in an accident four months pregnant, she leaves Beth her unborn child. A chance at motherhood that seemed impossible.
Forces Beth can't name and can't fight have other plans.
Lucy's Child is Hutson doing something different — devastating in a way that slower, more intimate horror earns the right to be. The horror builds from a place of genuine human longing, which makes it land somewhere most horror fiction never reaches. By the time the supernatural fully surfaces, you're already emotionally exposed.
“Britain's greatest living horror author.” — Dark Side
Read this one alone, at night. It earns the quiet.
