Son of a Serial Killer by Andrew Adams

PRAISE FOR SON OF A SERIAL KILLER

"Straddling the line between true crime fanaticism and f*cked up fever dream, Adams doesn’t just throw a twist into the serial killer fiction subgenre: He powerbombs it."

—Rebecca Rowland, Shirley Jackson Award nominee of White Trash & Recycled Nightmares

"Propulsive and provocative, Adams's Son of a Serial Killer takes a magnifying glass to our society in the grips of true-crime obsessions and serial killer fandoms. In Glenn, we encounter a lost soul protagonist, a proverbial cog in the machine, and then witness his bloody journey to find his true identity. It's not just his story we're reading, it's the story of America—body count and all."

—Patrick Barb, author of JK-LOL and The Children's Horror

Glen Overton is a thirty-year-old corporate data clerk and he hates every second of it. Having never known his father, his alcoholic mother lets slip one night that he is the son of one of the most uber infamous serial killers, Brock Blackwood, who stirred up a media storm back in the 70s and 80s.

When word gets out, Brock’s old superfans rush forward to support Glen, while others who vividly remember the horrors want him gone immediately, with or without force.

Glen must come to terms with who he truly is and navigate pressure from all angles to either walk in his father’s shadow or break free from it for good.
