Description
The acclaimed author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes andWhat Kind of Mother comes to Bad Hand Books.
The body of Glenn Partridge's 15-year-old son was discovered in a vacant lot nearly forty years ago. The police are still no closer to finding the murderer decades later.
Glenn refuses to let the memory of his son fade-or let anyone else within this small working-class community forget. His long-suffering wife signs him up for an amateur fiction-writing workshop at the local library, just to get him out of the house and out of his own head.
Rule number Write what you know-so Glenn decides to share his son's story. The class offers him a chance to make sense of a senseless crime and find the fictional closure life never provided. But as Glenn's story takes on a life of its own, someone from the past is compelled to come out of hiding before he reaches...
The End.

Critical Reviews
"We're supposed to mourn our deceased loved ones--but what happens when grief is all you have, when grief becomes addictive, turns toxic, downright poisonous? Clay McLeod Chapman deftly shows us in the unflinchingly dark Kill Your Darling."
-- Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor
"A darkly fascinating tale that takes us on a journey through the valley of heartbreak. Clay McLeod Chapman is a master of elevated horror and suspense."
--S.A. Cosby, Author of All the Sinners Bleed and Blacktop Wasteland
