A contemporary gothic delving into the power of unmoored lust and familial bondsWhen Baxter, a young writer and recent college graduate, accepts a live-in nanny position for an affluent professor's family in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, she rapidly becomes aware of strange happenings orbiting the family and their children, Quinn and Thebes. After the father becomes estranged and the mother disappears into the night with only one child, Baxter is left utterly lost and in charge of the baby, Thebes, even as she struggles to make sense of the bizarre occurrences within the family, the house, and even her own body. But the unnatural occurrences are far from over, and as Baxter stumbles in the dark to protect the child, something sinister stalks the night, looking to sink in its teeth.For fans of gothic classics such as The Turn of the Screw and Carmilla, The Turn is an eerie and magnificent modern gothic tale about the monstrous bond of love between caregiver and child.

"In writing, as in vampiric transformation, the turn is the instant of disorientation that reimagines the world. Enter the feminist heroine we've been waiting for: she's got razor-sharp teeth, a sexy disregard for conventional Gothic tropes, and she doesn't want to be your girlfriend anymore. Rachel Feder's The Turn is as sharp as it is brilliant—terrifying, funny, and absolutely impossible to put down." —Selah Saterstrom, author of The Meat and Spirit Plan"The Turn is a smoldering modern gothic tale of monstrous lust and body horror, updated with all the Gen Z unmooring and malaise of the pandemic years. Rachel Feder has created a slow-creeping sense of doom that brings to mind Daphne DuMaurier and Henry James." —Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of The Bullet Swallower
