It was created decades ago when geologists were mining for gas and an underground void collapsed, forming a crater as wide as half a soccer field and as deep as a five-story building.

Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder . Top Story - June 2024.
INSANE journey of a book. In the very best of ways. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get into this book at first, put off by this idea of the literal transformation of the story’s human protagonist into a dog, but Rachel Yoder’s impeccable writing made her physical transformation just as poignant and as meaningful as her psychological one. The metaphor of Nightbitch’s transformation into a dog displays the animalistic side of motherhood, the side that can be ugly while being strangely beautiful, in all of its love and its violence. Motherhood is a complex, multi-faceted gift, and a curse, and a miracle.
