A forensic psychiatrist’s investigation into an infamous Louisiana serial killer leads him down a dangerous path of obsession as he discovers they share the same cursed blood.
This chilling debut horror novel will captivate readers of Chasing the Boogeyman and What Moves the Dead and fans of True Detective.
In 2008, a serial killer known as the Cajun Cannibal brutally murders and consumes the flesh of eight people in a small Louisiana parish. With law enforcement closing in on him, he takes his own life before he can face the inside of a courtroom.
Ten years later, when forensic psychiatrist Dr. Vincent Blackburn discovers he and the Cajun Cannibal are more closely connected than he realized, he begins a case study into the sociopathy behind the killer’s grisly deeds, only to find a torrent of small town politics, interracial family dynamics, and whispers of the supernatural muddying once clear waters.
When copycat killings start anew, Vincent is thrust into the center of it all, putting his life, his family, and his own sanity at risk. As monsters—both figurative and literal—begin to manifest, Vincent discovers that untangling the truth from the lies is only the beginning of his nightmare.
Told through the pages of Dr. Vincent Blackburn’s case study memoir, and certain to appeal to readers of A Flicker in the Dark, this macabre psychological horror will leave your heart racing.

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brianna Labuskes launches the Raisa Susanto series with The Lies You Wrote, an Editors’ Pick in Mystery, Thriller & Suspense.

About the book
For a brilliant forensic linguist, crimes of the past hold clues to new series of murders in a twisting novel of suspense by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of A Familiar Sight.
The double murder of a married couple in a small Washington town draws FBI forensic linguist Raisa Susanto into an investigation that mirrors a decades-old crime. Twenty-five years ago—to the day—Alex Parker murdered his parents, then took his own life, leaving behind a note admitting everything.
Raisa, paired with forensic psychologist Callum Kilkenny, uses her skills to read between the lines. Especially now that paranoid postings on a conspiracy thread suggest that Alex was a victim himself—theories that have piqued the interest of a perceptive content moderator and a true-crime podcaster eager for a big break.
As old and new crimes converge, messages from the living and the confessions of the dead take on new meaning for Raisa. Something more sinister than a copycat crime is at play, and plundering the darkest corners of a killer’s mind leaves her vulnerable to a deadly twist even she never saw coming.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Nate’s new apartment is cheap, conveniently located, and… strange.
The padlocked doors, odd wiring, and mutant cockroaches should bother him more than they do, but Nate has bigger worries. His job is miserable, his bank account is empty, and his future feels nonexistent. For now, the quirks of the building are just background noise.
Until he starts comparing notes with his neighbors. Mandy. Xela. Tim. Veek. Each apartment hides secrets that don’t add up. The further they dig into the building’s history, the stranger—and more impossible—the discoveries become.
What begins as curiosity spirals into something catastrophic. Because the mysteries of this Los Angeles brownstone don’t just threaten Nate and his friends. Solving them could unravel reality itself. And the clock is already ticking.
