James Lee Burke's Robicheaux mysteries meet Tender is the Flesh in a chewy, chilling Louisiana-set horror-thriller about cannibalism in the bayou from a Hollywood actor/screenwriter and psychiatrist writing duo
The Louisiana parish of St. Landry thought they had seen the end of cannibalistic killings in 2008 with the death of the Cajun Cannibal, a flesh-eating serial killer who consumed eight victims before taking his own life.
Ten years later, a forensic psychiatrist's case study into the cannibal's murders twists itself into a terrifying reckoning with monsters both figurative and literal when he discovers the two share the same cursed blood.
When identical killings start happening again, questions about what really happened back then resurface, leading the psychiatrist into terrifying and dangerous levels of obsession. Told through the pages of the psychiatrist's case study, the story is part psychological horror, part serial-killer thriller.
Genre: Horror

Praise for this book
"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
"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
