Who Dies First by Douglas Ford

A road-trip takes a dark detour when Steve and Nancy decide to visit distant family, unwittingly opening a trove of family secrets that threaten to change everything they know about themselves and each other. From the author of The Trick and The Infection Party comesa neo-Southern Gothic tale that follows a surreal path to sinister museums in thrift stores, an ex-wrestler with an unspeakable appetite, time-bending government experiments, and finally a revelation about what’s hidden upstairs.

Keep the location services turned on so you’re not the one who dies first.

“Ford deftly reminds us that the ties that bind in the Deep South are sometimes best left alone and undone. A timely tale of family secrets that unsettles and unnerves before it ends in a sharp, wicked jab to the gut.” 

--Kenzie Jennings, author of Reception and Always Listen to Her Hurt

“The tension building is stellar!”

--Ruth Anna Evans, author of Do Not Go in That House
