Rebecca Daniels is a down-and-out private investigator on the hunt for her daughter's killer. The trail leads to Bright Fork, a sleepy New Hampshire town where Rebecca discovers this is no ordinary manhunt. Her investigation becomes a tangle of brutal killings, secret rituals, and terrifying visions that force Rebecca to question reality. This is more than an opportunity to take revenge on the one who tore her family to pieces. It's a chance to confront the darkness growing inside of her, the madness that threatens to possess her entirely.

#21DaysofHorror Day 20. I love when horror also riffs on a message that is not really the horror itself but horror adjacent. From the sharp eye on parents at a random McDonalds in the first couple pages to a mother hunting her daughter‘s killer in the backwoods of New Hampshire where the creepy abounds, one starts to question how much parents should give of themselves to their children. A disturbing novella with nice writing.

vivastory I have heard a lot of great things about this one. Will def have to check it out! 3y
Bookzombie I‘m sure I already stacked this one because of you. That cover is eye-catching! Ha! 3y
Reggie @vivastory yeah, I always mean to check out something by him but something shiny comes along. This was so good though. Also, I‘m so excited for for your day 21 post. I feel like you hyped it up in your post last night I can‘t wait! 😁 3y
Reggie @Bookzombie Eye see what you mean. Lolol 3y

Pickpick

This was great. We meet Rebecca, a grieving mother trying to find the killer of her daughter, the boyfriend. She goes to the small town of Bright Fork where things that start out grey and tinged with grief turn bright red with blood and guts!! At a 153 pages it was tight, well written, and went from 0-100. Also if you‘re a parent, this is the Halloween book for you because it is a DOOZY and would make you rethink some things. A folk horror pick!!

TrishB Interesting 👍🏻 5y
Reggie @TrishB I thought of you because it definitely has A Friend of the Family Vibes. It was decent. His writing was decent. 5y
Reggie @Chrissyreadit If you have kindle unlimited it‘s free or if you‘re curious enough and have 2.99 to spare I say go for it! 5y
Chrissyreadit @Reggie I have kindle unlimited! This will work. 5y

merelybookish That last line! 👍 5y
Reggie @merelybookish yeah, this guy can write. His first couple of pages describing parenthood was so arresting. 5y
Gezemice Yeah, that last line is great. Some of this kind of writing struck me in the Overstory, too. 5y
