A DARK AND STYLISH PAGE-TURNER FROM A BOLD NEW VOICE IN FICTION
Harry Bloch is a struggling writer who pumps out pulpy serial novelsfrom vampire books to detective storiesunder various pseudonyms. But his life begins to imitate his fiction when he agrees to ghostwrite the memoir of Darian Clay, New York Citys infamous Photo Killer. Soon, three young women turn up dead, each one murdered in the Photo Killers gruesome signature style, and Harry must play detective in a real-life murder plot as he struggles to avoid becoming the killers next victim.
Witty, irreverent, and original, The Serialist is a love letter to booksfrom poetry to pornographyand proof that truth really can be stranger than fiction.
