Mr. Shivers

Set against the desolate backdrop of the Great Depression comes a literary debut novel that will reignite the horror genre.

As the Great Depression reaches its height, taciturn giant Marcus Connelly abandons his home to hunt down the mysterious scarred man who murdered his daughter. As he travels across an America ruined by drought, Connelly learns he isn't alone – countless others have suffered a similar loss, and also hunt him with vengeance on their minds.

But as they track their quarry, Connelly begins to suspect that the man they are hunting is more than human. Wherever he goes, the country and its people are stricken with misery and despair. Connelly soon realizes that the scarred man he has ways of protecting himself. Towns and villages across the country have agreed to shelter him in exchange for longer life and healthy crops.

As he pursues his prey into increasingly dangerous territory, Connelly must murder the scarred man's protectors to keep up his quest. And the closer Connelly gets, the more he risks becoming what he hunts... As Connelly gets closer and closer to his goal, the nature of his quest and his very character will begin to transform, and he will find himself face-to-face with Nietzsche's great dilemma: He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
