He found himself at war with the modern world—and the laws of God and man.
When a rural misfit from a harsh, blue-collar world marries an idealistic college girl, the chances for domestic bliss are close to nil.
Because marriage isn’t what it used to be, and neither is higher education.
But nobody explained any of this to Kevin Chapman, and now it’s too late. His reality just crashed down around him, and when the dust settles, he’s in the aftermath of the unthinkable.
Kevin's life is now a nightmare that he can't wake up from. As his bleak past weighs on him, and his unthinkable acts multiply, his only hope is to embrace the darkness—and risk being lost in it forever.
Note: This novel was formerly titled Noir Bastard. The title had to be changed because the word "Bastard" hindered promotion efforts.
