The Lamb
Lucy Rose
Young Margot lives in the woods with Mama. Margot only knows what Mama's taught her, and sometimes, Mama's cannibalistic urges get the better of her. Together, they take in lost hikers - "strays" as Mama calls them - and make meals of them. But one day, a beautiful, disrupting, and maybe just as dangerous woman enters their hideaway, giving way to what could be another fatal shift.
