Of Flesh and Blood
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.
Of Flesh and Blood is a chilling debut horror for lovers of Tender is the Flesh and Lapvona. 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.
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 killerβs grisly deeds. He soon finds a torrent of small-town politics, interracial family dynamics, and whispers of the supernatural muddying once-clear waters.
When copycat killings begin, Vincent is thrust into the centre of it all, putting his life, his family, and his own sanity at risk. As monstersβboth figurative and literalβbegin to manifest, Vincent discovers that untangling the truth from the lies is only the beginning of his nightmare.
