At the end of AHS: Delicate Part 1, Babette – Anna's main competition during award season, who is fresh off a Golden Globe win – is mysteriously killed in a car accident just after Siobhan calls Anna to ask just how badly she wants to win an Oscar. It looks like Siobhan might be emerging as the villain of the series... Did she murder Babette?! I’ve been a fan of Danielle Valentine for years. As a teenager I read “The Merciless” series written under her pen name Danielle Vega, and fell in love with her writing style and characters. It is when Anna learns that her daughter’s birth was a result of a mystical intervention by the coven cult. Yet, there is a condition— she must convey Sobhian’s past memories to her daughter to ensure her healthy upbringing; failure to do so will result in Sobhian’s demise. With a chilling mystery, heart-pounding horror, and a powerful exploration of ferti The paranoia Anna experiences is so well written. Where so many books in this genre play up to the unreliable female protagonist trope this book explores a woman who is frequently dismissed and disregarded as exactly that, but is she really?! Through the lens of women accessing healthcare; where they are often fobbed off, downplayed and ignored, this book explores the female experience of medical gaslighting in such a nuanced way. I felt it was totally relatable in that sense. Of course is it hyperbolised here, mingled in with some good old gothic horror and a bit of domestic thriller action but it says something bolder than the usual thriller.Wow!! This was not what I expected - literally couldn't put it down as I had no idea what was going on Lee, Benjamin (September 22, 2023).

It's a read-in-one-sitting spookfest with a good dose of horror alongside a fast, pacy thriller." Deborah Maclaren, LoveReading MD Throughout the story, Anna has a lot of odd pregnancy symptoms. The symptoms range from her hair falling out to a very strange rash all over her legs. Unfortunately, her doctors are not sympathetic to what she's going through. They continuously belittle her as if everything that's happening to her is no big deal.If any of this sounds vaguely familiar, Delicate Condition is the basis for the 12th season of American Horror Story, Part I of which is out now and stars Kim Kardashian, Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne. This is the first time an installment of the anthology has been adapted from existing source material. It is also the first time the series will be penned by one writer, Halley Feiffer, who also took over as showrunner. While aspects of American Horror Story: Delicate’s production are new, the plot is straight out of the AHS handbook. Tried and true fans of the series know that the scariest parts are not the haunted mansions and killer clowns but the moments when the show mirrors the real tragedies of America. In season one, that was a school shooting, season 11, the AIDS crisis. These days, few things are scarier than the state of women’s healthcare.
