Acerca de esta escucha
“Wonderfully well-written. The dread, the enigma, build with each scene.” (Josh Malerman)
Best Horror Books by Library Journal
A biting novel from an electrifying new voice, Kristi DeMeester's Such a Pretty Smile is a heart-stopping tour-de-force about powerful women, angry men, and all the ways in which girls fight against the forces that try to silence them.
There’s something out there that’s killing. Known only as The Cur, he leaves no traces, save for the torn bodies of girls, on the verge of becoming women, who are known as trouble-makers; those who refuse to conform, to know their place. Girls who don’t know when to shut up.
2019: Thirteen-year-old Lila Sawyer has secrets she can’t share with anyone. Not the school psychologist she’s seeing. Not her father, who has a new wife, and a new baby. And not her mother - the infamous Caroline Sawyer, a unique artist whose eerie sculptures, made from bent twigs and crimped leaves, have made her a local celebrity. But soon Lila feels haunted from within, terrorized by a delicious evil that shows her how to find her voice - until she is punished for using it.
2004: Caroline Sawyer hears dogs everywhere. Snarling, barking, teeth snapping that no one else seems to notice. At first, she blames the phantom sounds on her insomnia and her acute stress in caring for her ailing father. But then the delusions begin to take shape - both in her waking hours, and in the violent, visceral sculptures she creates while in a trance-like state. Her fiancé is convinced she needs help. Her new psychiatrist waives her “problem” away with pills. But Caroline’s past is a dark cellar, filled with repressed memories and a lurking horror that the men around her can’t understand.
As past demons become a present threat, both Caroline and Lila must chase the source of this unrelenting, oppressive power to its malignant core. Brilliantly paced, unsettling to the bone, and unapologetically fierce, Such a Pretty Smile is a powerful allegory for what it can mean to be a woman, and an untamed rallying cry for anyone ever told to sit down, shut up, and smile pretty.
“A righteously angry fever dream.” (Paul Tremblay)
“Brutal and shocking.” (Emily M. Danforth)
“Darkly feminist.” (Karma Brown)
“Razor-sharp. This one will cut you.” (Christopher Golden)
“Darkly visceral...will leave readers doubting reality.” (Publishers Weekly)

Historia
When Margaret and her husband Hal bought the large Victorian house on Hawthorn Street—for sale at a surprisingly reasonable price—they couldn’t believe they finally had a home of their own. Then they discovered the hauntings. Every September, the walls drip blood. The ghosts of former inhabitants appear, and all of them are terrified of something that lurks in the basement. Most people would flee. Margaret is not most people. Margaret is staying.

With nothing but the clothes on his back - and something horrific snapping at his heels - Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker’s rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. Now, years later, the bright new future he’s built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead. Surviving a violent car crash seems like a miracle for Jack’s family, but Jack knows there’s nothing divine about it.

Mary is a quiet middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying mutilated specters that come with increasing regularity.

When Ralph and Abby Lamb move in with Ralph’s mother, Laura, Abby hopes it’s just what she and her mother-in-law need to finally connect. After a traumatic childhood, Abby is desperate for a mother figure, especially now that she and Ralph are trying to become parents themselves. Abby just has so much love to give—to Ralph, to Laura, and to Mrs. Bondy, her favorite resident at the long-term care home where she works. But Laura isn’t interested in bonding with her daughter-in-law. She’s venomous and cruel, especially to Abby, and life with her is hellish.

Art Barbara was so not cool. He was a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis, and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friend thought the Pallbearers Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

The second time, she's 17, and it's no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina is not so lucky. When the cops deem Mina's murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night for a meeting shrouded in mystery.

There’s another lie. There is only one person they’re really looking at, Molly. And that’s yours truly.

Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close, the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects - Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72 - manage to escape.

Celeste Price is an eighth-grade English teacher in suburban Tampa. But Celeste's devotion lies elsewhere. She has a singular sexual obsession: 14-year-old boys. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress driven by pure motivation. She deceives everyone, and cares nothing for anyone or anything but her own pleasure. With crackling, rampantly unadulterated prose, Tampa is a grand, uncompromising, seriocomic examination of want and a scorching literary debut.

The three Maxwell siblings keep their distance from the lily-white gated enclave outside Dallas where they grew up. When their family moved there, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. The neighbors acted nice enough, but right away bad things, scary things—the strange and the unexplainable—began to happen in their house. Maybe it was some cosmic trial, a demonic rite of passage into the upper-middle class. Whatever it was, the Maxwells, steered by their formidable mother, stayed put, unwilling to abandon their home, terrors and trauma be damned.

An EVERY woman's declaration
I personally loved it. As a bisexual WOC who has struggled with SMIs (serious mental illnesses) all her life, I can relate to every emotion, every situation, every slight...all those passive-aggressive actions and words the protagonists experienced.
We live in a Patriarchal dominant society that has very blatant, along with more subversive, expectations and stigmas. If a female is not willing to fit within those invisible boundaries, that "pretty little box", she will ultimately suffer the consequences.
In my opinion, this is a wake-up call, as clear as any Feminist Manifesto (that also calls out the racism, classicism, ableism, anti-LGBTQI+, etc.) that is a collective blight on our society.
Bravo, Ms. DeMeester. I shall definitely follow your writing career.

Mediocre at best. The story felt drawn out and never really had any excitement. I almost gave up on it but stuck it out and was disappointed by the whole thing. I hate to say it, but don't waste your time on this one.

Solid, intense horror
I enjoyed this book quite a bit, it had a good sense of atmosphere which kept me gripped as the story developed. My main complaint is that, much like many horror novels, the wrap-up towards the end didn't come together as well as I would've liked. Still, it was a solid read overall and a solid recommend.

Powerful with Strong Characters
Such a Pretty Smile was a slow burn at first, going between two points of view (Mother and Daughter) and two timelines. But about half way through it picks up like a rocket and I had to continue listening, even while doing yoga (not suggested).
I was on edge the last half of the book and it literally made me get anxious. I’m a single mother of a 12 year old girl so it hit right where it hurts.
I’m still thinking of the ending as I just finished a few minutes ago. Wonderful listen. I loved the narrator and her voice was perfect for the characters.

What did I just listen to?
Don’t waste your money, a credit, and most importantly, your time reading or listening to this ridiculous book. Made zero sense.

A Work of Art
Kristi DeMeester is an amazing talent who knows how to plunge a reader to the depths of anxiety and despair. This is a work of art painted in shades of fear and pain. And none of it would matter a bit if love wasn't woven throughout. Another winner for me.

Enjoyed the story although it isn’t what I was expecting!
This story is beautifully written, I loved the imagery throughout the book. Her descriptions are so visceral! I won’t spoil anything but I expected it to be more ‘true crime’ and there were some supernatural elements instead. I thought it started moving a little fast towards the end, but still a great read. I’d recommend it :)

What big teeth you have
A mother with a secret. A daughter with questions. An abandoned theme park with a dark reputation. Missing girls. What more could you ask for?

Visceral and raw!
This story captivated me from the very beginning! It was a tear jerker for sure. One of my favorite listens to date!

Feminist Horror for People who Have Never Heard of Patriarchy Before
This book is an absolute mess. To start the prose itself is lackluster, aiming for maximum ornamentation at all times even when it’s redundant or makes no sense. The story is poorly paced with stakes that are unclear up until the last hour or so of the recording. On top of all that this is the most entry-level feminist genre thing I’ve ever read, to the point it’s insulting. The author googled “Freud misogyny” once and concluded from that that all male therapeutic professionals are evil. I’m well aware of how misogyny works especially in regards to mental health and the presentation here is absolutely ridiculous and sophomoric. Every point this book makes is unsubtle to the point of farce and there’s no ultimate point to any of it. The gore writing is passable but I swear the horror scenes in this were written like a lost episode creepypasta, just repetitive to the point of boredom. What an absolute joke.
