Annotated true-crime reading list by Grady Hendrix
And more!
Patricia Campbell s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.
One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind and Patricia has already invited him in.
Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia s life and try to take everything she took for granted including the book club but she won t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

Hendrix ist ein Meister des Absurden,...
Hendrix ist ein Meister des Absurden, des Humors in brenzligen Situationen und starker Figuren. Der Text hat mich durchweg unterhalten, gegruselt und zum Ende hin schier mitgerissen. Gerade der Buchclubaspekt kommt in dieser Lektüre nicht zu kurz. Für Fans von "Fright Night"! -

The best kind of gory!
Wow, Grady Hendrix really outdid himself with this one! I have never before read a book that features cozy book club reading against the backdrop of social injustice and traditional elements of true horror! Patricia and her neighbouring book club friends would do anything to protect their children and the upper part of town where they all live close together. As one day, James Harris joins the neighbourhood, inexplicable things start to happen and the book club is utterly convinced: they have to deal with an actual vampire. Yes, Grady Hendrix displays all the classical elements of identifying James as a vampire but he does so with adding his own original touch and trademark. This combined with his outstandingly vivid writing style made the story play out like a horror movie in my head, one disturbing picture chasing the next! All of the book's themes are perfectly laid bare and there is absolutely nothing I would change in the pacing of the plot, the story's character growth and the explosive ending. Freaking perfect!! -

This is one of Grady Hendrix' best books yet and fun fact: he spent the two years, it took him to write this book, dressed as a penguin. A PENGUIN. He just got so much weirder, but definitely in a good way! The story takes place in the 90's and it's about a book club of housewives, getting sucked into the horror, that's happening in their small town. As they read a lot of true crime, they start to investigate on their own, to the dismay of their husbands. So naturally, they behave absolutely condescending and are of no help at all. There are a lot of gnarly scences throughout the book and I still kept on reading at night, whilst being alone in bed. Not the smartest idea, but all the more creepy!
