Book description

A red mask mystery. Her husband has been killed in Vietnam, her baby due in three weeks with no money, no family support only the words of her husband, "You'll like my Mother". A trip of terror and knife-edge suspense.

Why read it?

1 author picked You'll Like My Mother as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I happened upon a copy of this author's first novel, and all other activity stopped. The plot sucked me right in and kept me there.

This novel exemplifies incredible storytelling, which makes it so sad it is out of print and the author unknown. A movie resulted from the novel in 1972, and the trailer (same title as the novel) really captures the gothic suspense and macabre tone of this work. In sum, it is hard to find stories of this caliber anymore.
