Reader's Diary #1592- Lucy Clifford: The New Mother
Lucy Clifford's "The New Mother" reminds me of Dwight Schrute's cautionary tales for kids; overly horrific tales meant to teach children a lesson.
On that note, "The New Mother" is more creepy-weird than perversely violent, and essentially it's a lesson on not giving into temptations that will provide a few minutes enjoyment at the cost of misbehaving (a lesson just as applicable to adults).
Still, it's a bizarre and fascinating tale that reads more as horror than as a moralistic story.
