Charlotte’s daughter Stella is sensitive and brilliant, perhaps even a genius, but a recent change in Stella's behavior has alarmed Charlotte's motherly instincts. Following the sudden death of Stella’s babysitter, Blanka, the once disruptive and anti-social Stella has abruptly become docile and agreeable . . .
Kaleidoscopic and tense, genuinely creepy and infused with shades of the supernatural, Clever Little Thing is an ode to motherhood and a nuanced critique of the caretaking industry.
“A sharp and unflinching twist on mom noir, Clever Little Thing is part psychological thriller, part supernatural horror, and all perfectly unnerving.” -- Ashley Audrain, bestselling author of The Push, The Whispers, and The Things You'll Never Know
