Lola and Ian had what they thought was the perfect relationship. Vacations. Fine dining. A
healthy sex life.

But when their childless lifestyle begins impacting their social lives, they decide to take the
natural next step.

But what happens when that next step cracks the perfect foundation Lola and Ian have built?
What happens when that next step is anything but natural?

Robert P. Ottone's The Vile Thing We Created is a terrifying vision of parenthood in the tradition
of Ira Levin and Thomas Tryon.
