It’s a subculture that leans decidedly, sinisterly far-right – and it’s with this thread of baked-in horror that author Saratoga Schaefer gleefully runs riot in their new novel, Tradwife (2026).
Canadian horror God of Frogs, a psychedelic blend of creature feature, folk and body horror manages this feat remarkably well. Each segment has a different director, but all four follow the same monster, which returns to feed every 25 years.
