About this item
"A grand gothic story as enthralling as it is terrifying." - S. A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author A young father must clear his name and protect his queer son when his wealthy new wife's televangelist grandfather is found murdered in this unputdownable locked-room thriller from the acclaimed author of The Bright Lands - perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Paul Tremblay, and Alex North.. For years, single father Toby Tucker has done his best to keep his sensitive young son, Luca, safe from the bigotry of the world. But when Toby marries Alyssa Wright - the granddaughter of a famed televangelist known for his grandiose, Old Testament preaching - he can't imagine the world of religion, wealth, and hate that he and Luca are about to enter.
About the Author
I'm John Fram, a lapsed Texan and debut author of the supernatural thriller THE BRIGHT LANDS, due out in July 2020 from Hanover Square Press. Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box, describes it as "absolutely enthralling," Christopher Golden calls it "compelling as hell," and Edmund White (the one and only) calls it "Gothic, Faulkernian...and very, very sexy." I'm just grateful a childhood spent playing video games and sweating in tall grass resulted in something worthwhile. An accidental Manhattanite, I spend my free time practicing yoga, sweating on stationary bikes and gasping in movie theaters. I've written for The New York Times, The Atlantic and elsewhere. Most days I meditate, write and read, in that order. For the most up-to-date news, you find me on Instagram as @john.fram and Twitter as @johnsfram.
