There's been a rise of Tradwife horror, especially with Yesteryear gaining so much popularity. And I just watched this youtube video "Beyond every trad wife, there's a horror story" By elle literacy ("Beyond every trad wife, there's a horror story" By elle literacy) which gave me the idea to make my list "Tradwife Horror" (Tradwife horror) Spoiler's for Rosemary's baby and The Handmaid's tale

The video also brought up something very interesting, in previous Domestic horror books, many of them focused on the autonomy of women being taken away somehow. In Rosemary's baby, the main character, Rosemary, her pregnancy and baby is being used against her will and consent for a satanic type of ritual along with manipulation being another theme within the book. In The Handmaid's tale while not strictly domestic horror, does hold domestic horror elements to it, women aren't allowed to read or write, women are forced to have children. We see the erosion of personal autonomy within the home for women in the Handmaid's tale which is a big part of domestic horror, the erasure of personal autonomy in the home. Now in what seems like the new trend of Tradwife horror, it seems to take this and flips it on its head. The women in Tradwife horror books are participating and complicit in being a trad wife, in 'submitting' to their husbands, even if they're not happy. And the YouTube video also brings up how it tends to take this and then it can split off into two types of narratives. One narrative is the how far do these women go in their complicity, how much damage they will do with their complicity. The other narrative is what if the woman made the wrong choice, what if what they thought they needed protection from (the outside world) was wrong, and what they need protection from is their husbands instead? So, basically it splits into a villain narrative, the women being complicit and marketing/profiting off of being a tradwife, or a victim narrative, where the women in the books learn that maybe their 'perfect' life isn't perfect at all.
I just thought how it's interesting to see how domestic horror went from an erosion of personal autonomy within the home, to this new trend we're seeing of tradwife horror, where the characters in the books, the tradwifes are knowingly being tradwifes, 'submitting' to their husbands, and marketing it off of it on social media. I am very curious to see how this trend evolves and if more books focusing on tradwives is going to be published.
