5 Things To Happen Next On American Horror Story: Delicate According To Danielle Valentine’s Novel 

Inspired by Danielle Valentine's Delicate Condition, American Horror Story: Delicate hit screens last Thursday with its highly anticipated first episode.

While not a strict adaptation, the show maintains the core premise of the novel and offers a chilling start to the story of Anna Alcott, an actress who is eager to have a child with her husband, Dexter Harding.

While the twelfth season of the popular anthology horror may deviate from the novel in various ways, it is sure to retain essential elements from Danielle Valentine's original work that contribute to the show's storyline.

1. Anna’s False Miscarriage

This pivotal moment in Delicate Condition serves to deepen the sense of mystery and suspense that surrounds the journey of Anna's pregnancy. The emotional roller coaster that Anna goes through, from the devastation of the loss to the confusion surrounding her still-active pregnancy, adds a compelling layer of intrigue to the narrative.

Viewers are sure to be drawn deeper into the gripping story as Anna grapples with conflicting information and questions the motives behind the misinformation.

2. Dex Has An Affair

As Anna delves deeper into the dark secrets surrounding her pregnancy and the people she thought she could trust, the true horrors emerge when she discovers her husband is cheating with a woman named Cora. Cora turns out to be the receptionist for Dr. Hill, the doctor who gaslights Anna with her miscarriage.

It turns out that Cora was the one messing with Anna's mind while Dex allowed the first to enter his marriage and disrupt his wife's life.

3. A Coven Helps Anna Get Pregnant

The shocking twist unfolds when it is revealed that Anna did in fact miscarry, but when she confided in her friend Siobhan, portrayed by Kim Kardashian, about her heartbreaking loss, Siobhan, who is a witch in a coven, took it upon herself to intervene.

Gathering with her fellow witches, they cast a spell on Anna with the sole intention of ensuring her baby's survival, but in a tragic turn of events, Siobhan had to pay the ultimate price for her altruistic act.

4. Anna's Baby Is Reborn As Siobhan

As a testament to the deep bond she shared with her friend and the depth of Siobhan's selfless sacrifice, in the novel Anna accepts Siobhan's will to rebirth in her child.

Notably, this transformation is marked by the presence of the same red mark on the baby's face, a haunting symbol of Siobhan's rebirth, and serves as undeniable proof that Anna's baby is indeed a reincarnation of her dear friend.

5. Dex Dies In A Car Accident

On her way to give birth to her daughter, Anna survives a car accident, but her cheating husband Dex tragically loses his life. Instead of being consumed by grief over her husband's passing, Anna seems more preoccupied with the mysterious circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.

This detachment from Dex's death raises questions about Anna's state of mind and her priorities amidst the harrowing events unfolding around her.
