From the author of The Perfect Place to Die and Don't Go to Sleep comes another chilling horror tale of a young man who investigates a string of disappearances, including his father; what he learns after spending the night with the unsettling Bender family will change his world forever...

In A Family of Killers, delve into the eerie story of America's first serial killer family.

Warren Bullock always thought he was a decent person. But lately, he's been haunted by a sinister voice in his head urging him to commit unspeakable acts of violence against the people around him.

And then the rumours start...

There have been a string of disappearances in southeastern Kansas, and his father's friend is one of the missing travellers. When Warren's father leaves to investigate and doesn't return, Warren knows this is his chance to prove that he is stronger than his darkest impulses.

As he makes his way through Kansas, he finds himself at a suspicious inn run by the Benders, a family with deeply unsettling mannerisms. They watch every move he makes, stand over him in his sleep, and the daughter seems to be able to see into both the past and future.

As he delves further into the disappearances, he realises one or all of the Benders may be responsible for all the missing people—and might be the reason his father never came home. It's up to Warren to set things right, even if that means giving in to the voice he has been working so hard to ignore.
