Loverboy

A Novel

by Victoria Redel


Review this book!

The narrator of this debut novel wants more than anything to become pregnant, and after a series of loveless encounters she succeeds, becoming the mother of Paul, whom she worships as a substitute for all that's missing in her life. Gradually, she becomes more and more possessive, refusing to allow her son to go to school or lead a normal life, and her madness spirals out of control.

Media Reviews

"Redel is one of the most talented scary writers to come out of musty old Manhattan in the last few decades. She's a writer with her fists clenched so tightly that her palms must bleed, and when she opens her fists, suddenly, in front of the reader, powerful, hurtful truths come flying out."
