A high concept serial killer thriller for fans of The Shining Girls and The Straw Men

For a lucky few, death is merely an inconvenience. With the help of technology the mind can survive after a body has been laid to rest. This afterlife, however, is far from paradise.

Rhodes is a 'Husk'. It's an illegal and highly lucrative job - renting out control of his body and mind to the highest bidder. It's a sure way to a better life, but some clients go too far.

Then the visions start - terrible sights that haunt his waking hours. They could be dreams, or they could be something far worse - they just might be memories.

Praise for Husk

Raw, visceral, powerful ... may just make you question what it is to be human

Nick Cutter

Pacy and surprising, Husk is a showcase for a wild and frightening imagination

Andrew Pyper

Reading J. Kent Messum's Bait is like taking a high dive into black water. What you find in its murky depths is disturbing, pulse-pounding and utterly surprising. An exhilarating debut

Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me

The stakes could be no higher in this crisply written, fast-paced novel that examines the shifting line between right and wrong, good and evil. Bait will keep readers turning pages late into the night.

Lori Roy, author of Bent Road and Until She Comes Home

Jaws meets Lord of the Flies meets Drugstore Cowboy! A powerhouse debut.
