Trad Wife by Saratoga Schaefer is a horror novel about a social media influencer who embraces the "tradwife" lifestyle, but feels her online image is incomplete without a baby, leading her to make a wish at a mysterious well that results in a demonic, supernatural pregnancy. The book is described as a gory, darkly funny, and disturbing take on influencer culture, body horror, and the pressures on women, featuring a rapidly developing pregnancy with monstrous cravings and an unnaturally fast-growing fetus. It's often compared to Rosemary's Baby but with a modern, satirical twist, and is praised for its blend of elevated horror and schlocky, 80s-inspired aesthetics.
