Story
No one saw it coming. It started with isolated reports of people kidnapping babies and blending them to drink their ‘essence’—a highly potent and highly addictive chemical compound found in infants. The phenomenon spread through social media, infecting other addicts. Cases of kidnapping and murder—femicide and infanticide—skyrocketed, leading to governments around the world to issue state of emergencies and strict shelter-at-home orders. But it was too late. Society had collapsed into itself.

Critic reviews
"Dark and violent, yet with a surprising amount of heart, it's hard to believe J.P. Behrens's Portrait of a Nuclear Family is a debut novel. Crafted with a sure hand, the suspense rises to an almost unbearable tension. And that ending -- people are going to be talking about it for a long time!" (Nicholas Kaufmann, bestselling author of 100 Fathoms Below (with Steven L. Kent) and The Hungry Earth)
"Visceral and grotesque, Behrens paints a portrait that will stay with you long after you've finished reading." (Jacob Haddon, editor of LampLight Magazine)
"JP Behrens delivers a twisted tale of horror and madness, a bold story with surprises aplenty and a powerful narrative. Highly recommended." (James A. Moore, author of the Blood Red trilogy)

When overwhelmed stay-at-home mom Alexis finds herself at odds with her husband after she’s charged with a DUI, she is given one chance to get her family back: complete AA and admit her faults. The problem is, she’s never had a drinking problem and has no idea what caused the blackout that led to her arrest. Still, she’s committed to working through the program, if that’s what it takes to be reunited with her two young children. But when she connects with a new friend, Farrah, she’s empowered to take a closer look at her husband’s role in her downfall.

Story
When Sam’s ex, Danny, winds up gutted beyond recognition, Sam has no memory of where he was at the time. He can only remember the strange comfort of his new house. The endless ticking of a clock he can’t find. The bloody knife he woke up holding the morning Danny was killed. Sam’s guilt over Danny is undercut by the endless ticking, a growing desire to drink from the dead, and anonymous GPS pings that lead him to corpses. The stench of them rotting makes him hungry.

Her eye catches on a light that shouldn’t be on in her neighbour’s house. Growing up, when the two families were so close, Anna used to know it better than her own.

Story
Back in the golden age of Hollywood, there lived a beautiful B-movie star. They called her the “poor man’s Marilyn,” but in reality her career was going nowhere fast. Then she built a crazy pink mansion, got married a few times, made a string of flops, joined the Satanic church, and ended up decapitated on a back Biloxi road at dawn. She was dead but not forgotten, convincing herself that even as a ghost she was ripe for a comeback. She missed the lights, the cameras, and her fans. That was thirty years ago, though, and in the meantime Desiree and her pink palace became just rotting ...

Wonderful narration amplifies psychological horror
J.P. Behrens’ PORTRAIT OF A NUCLEAR FAMILY is a masterclass in psychological horror, offering a chilling glimpse into the darkness that can reside within the most seemingly ordinary families.
A superb performance by Erin deWard elevates PORTRAIT OF A NUCLEAR FAMILY to new heights of psychological tension and emotional depth. deWard masterfully captures the subtle nuances of each character, bringing their inner turmoil and hidden fears to life with an authenticity that makes the story even more haunting. The pacing is perfectly controlled, allowing the underlying dread to build steadily, while the shifts in tone and emotion are handled with finesse, making each moment resonate powerfully. The narration not only enhances the unsettling atmosphere of the novel but also adds a layer of intimacy, drawing the listener into the heart of the family's unraveling with an intensity that is both captivating and chilling. An outstanding audio experience that truly complements Behrens' dark and compelling story.

This book was wild!
I’ve been wanting to read this book since its release, but due to the time available to me for reading I find it easiest to consume books through audio. I was lucky enough to be given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I usually prefer male narrators, but Erin deWard did an absolutely fantastic job telling the story as Wanda descends further into madness. This story is about a woman who will do anything to keep her family’s reputation spotless, even after tragedy strikes. The secrets and the lies that go deeper and deeper as the story progresses really drew me in. This is my favorite type of story and it was done so well. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next! The last scene was amazing and I would love to see this played out on screen. This book would make a great season of American Horror Story as it is just so odd and eerie and creepy.
This book is dark. It’s not overly gory, but there were some scenes that made me cringe.
Content/trigger warning: there is violence toward children and animals in this book. I don’t feel it was done for shock value but that it added to the storyline, but if that is something that you take issue with, this might not be the best story for you.
The only negative for me is that after the first half of the book the chapters got out of sync and what was showing on the app as it was playing wasn’t correct (end credits with an hour left, then switched back to opening credits). This did not affect the playback and there’s a possibility that it was an issue with my audible app, as I’ve had some trouble with it over the past couple of months.

What would you do to protect your family's image?
It's November. Wanda, a mother and housewife of a perfect family, is cleaning the room of her 16 year old son Nathan, when she makes a horrific discovery. She finds his notebook, and it's filled with page after page of very detailed and very disturbing drawings. She mentions it to her husband Charles, but he brushes it off. As the days go on, she starts noticing an eerie trend with her oldest. She's getting calls from the school about his behavior. She notices him eyeing his younger brother Simon in a frightening way. And what does he keep doing alone in the woods?
She grows more and more scared of Nathan every day, fearing for not only her youngest, but also for her family's perfect image. As Nathan shows more and more signs of becoming unhinged, Wanda is desperate to keep his actions and behaviors a secret from the world. She'll do anything for her perfect family.
This book shook me to my very core. At no point did I actually know where things were heading. We see characters unravel. We see secrets come out. We see a story unfold. We see that, like in life, things are not always what they seem behind closed doors.
The narrator did an incredible job. You could feel the tension growing in Wanda's voice throughout the entire thing.

Wild family secrets!!
This is a wild story with family secrets, lots of darkness and total madness! The book has some interesting twists that I didn’t see coming and the story is pretty horrific! Especially the fantastic ending! It takes family drama to a whole new level!
The author did a great job with the writing and it’s a story I couldn’t stop reading!
One of my favorite lines ever- “maybe we’ll say a small prayer over the bodies- in the name of the pork, the chicken and the roast beef.”
I listened to the audio version and the narrator did an amazing job also.
This is a very enjoyable read!

Uncomfortable
This boon has probably made me the most uncomfortable I have ever been while reading a book, but it was soooooo good.
I was lucky to receive this audiobook from Joe Hempel and I was blown away. The story was gripping and Erin did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.
I give this book four and a half stars because it drew me in and I had no clue where I was going, I was just along for the ride.
JP Behrens is a staple with me, and after completing this book I believe that I have read all of his published works.
if you are looking for a creepy uncomfortable read, look no further. Pick up Portrait of a Nuclear Family today!
