Zoje Stage's debut novel, Baby Teeth, was a USA Today and international bestseller. It was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award and named one of the best books of the year by Forbes Magazine, Library Journal, PopSugar, Barnes & Noble, Bloody Disgusting, and BookBub. Her follow-up novel, Wonderland, was described in a starred review from Booklist as "a beautifully choreographed and astonishing second novel." And with her third book, Getaway, the New York Times declared her "a writer with a gift for the lyrical and the frightening." When Zoje isn't writing, reading, or streaming documentaries, she can be found in her mini dance studio, tap dancing. She lives in Pittsburgh with her cats.
"Compelling....This disturbing yet addictive read will keep you wondering what is real and what is madness." --Kirkus Reviews"Stage thrusts dread upon readers from her book's first sentences and continues to escalate the tension with every page. A great choice for fans of intense psychological horror where nothing can be trusted and no one can look away from the emerging nightmare." --Library Journal"Each of Stage's books explores the dark side of family bonds, all in their own extraordinary way. This one lays bare the true horror inherent in fables and folklore, and what Pandora lets out of her box seems negligible compared to what Grace unleashes." --Booklist (starred review)"Mothered is disturbing in the best possible way. A dark and unsettling thriller that had me glued to the pages. This is Stage's best work yet--horrifying and brilliant." --Lucinda Berry, bestselling author of The Perfect Child and Under Her Care"Zoje Stage expertly explores the blurred lines between memory and nightmare in this deliciously twisty and riveting page-turner. An eerily crafted chiller set against the claustrophobic isolation of the pandemic, Mothered is a must-read for psychological thriller fans. No one chronicles the complicated, sometimes perilous intensity of mother-daughter relationships like Stage. Absorbing, unsettling, and magnetic--don't miss this dark gem of a novel." --Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest"Zoje Stage's Mothered sent me on an intense, visceral ride. Stage's straightforward writing easily paints the initial picture we all went through, life screeching to a halt during the quarantine. But while that initial familiarity and instant connection with the protagonist, Grace, hooked me, the story quickly veered in an unfamiliar direction. As Grace's anxiety and instability rose, my own claustrophobic sensation grew, and I found myself flipping the pages, needing to know what happens next. The underlying mystery of Grace and Jackie's history kept me captivated and unsettled until the book's end." --Mike Omer, New York Times bestselling author of A Killer's Mind
