Of Flesh and Blood

Praise for Of Flesh and Blood: “A complex character study about serial killers … Intense, fast-paced horror.”—Gumshoe Review“A psychologically enthralling novel of murder, mystery, and madness.”—Capes and Tights“Of Flesh and Blood transported me to the humid swamps of Louisiana and made me double-check my doors and windows. Genuinely scary and stuffed with surprises, I only hope that the inevitable film is half as good as the novel.”—Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author of Memorial and Chasing the Boogeyman “A delightfully chilling debut steeped in southern gothic, with a villain you won’t soon forget, Of Flesh and Blood is a page-turning success. Beautifully rendered atmosphere and a haunting structure pull you in fast and hold you tight.”—Scott Carson, New York Times bestselling author of Lost Man’s Lane and The Chill“A meticulously detailed story of the Cajun Cannibal that will have true crime junkies salivating. A novel so true-crimey, I’m still wondering if it really happened!”—J. H. Markert, author of Sleep Tight
