OF FLESH AND BLOOD
OF FLESH AND 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.
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.
Coming JUNE 10th, 2025 from Crooked Lane Books

“From the moment I started to read OF FLESH AND BLOOD, I loved it. It’s so much more than just a horror story–though, rest assured, things do get pretty horrific–and the journey the novel takes readers on, through sinister bayous overhung with cypress trees and Spanish moss to dusty towns that bake in treacly, mosquito-filled air, will leave them with a greater understanding of Louisiana and what it is to be Cajun.
