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