2020 International Book Awards Finalist - Horror

Billie comes from a broken family. His mother was murdered, his abusive stepfather hauled away in cuffs for the crime. No longer able to remain in the home where his mother was killed--he runs. Eleven years later Billie has settled in a small New Hampshire town, but the terrible thing inside him needs to feed. A thing he has come to call the Other.

Bodies pile up. The town is terrified. Law enforcement is on the hunt for an elusive killer. Billie knows he can keep his secret if he is careful, but everything changes when he reconnects with his childhood best friend. The closer he becomes to her; the more secrets of his past are unearthed. Maybe his stepfather isn't guilty? But if he didn't kill his mother... who did?
