Notes and Misconceptions
It is not horror in the monster sense.
The terror comes from proximity: mother, child, poisoned land, and unstable cause and effect.
Best Path
Eco-horror, motherhood, dread
Reading Paths
Compressed, High-Yield Fiction
Short works where structure, voice, and pressure carry more weight than page count.
