Suburban Hell

Hoping to leave the pandemonium of the city behind, Amy Foster moves to the suburbs to raise her family. She soon befriends a group of women—Jess, Melissa, and Liz—who meet for wine and movies. When one of them suggests they build a “she shed,” Liz offers her backyard. Their plans go off the rails when, during their drunken groundbreaking ceremony, they unknowingly invite a demon into their midst. When the demon possesses Liz, the group must save their friend, all while managing the PTA, raising their families, and looking for jobs. Kilmer’s novel delivers with a darkly humorous look at the trials of living in an American suburb. Narrator Jaime Lamchick gives a wonderful performance as harried mother–turned–demon fighter Amy. Her performance ramps up the fun as she deftly switches between characters, from petulant housewife to deep-voiced demon.
