From the bestselling author of Fight Club comes a hilarious horror
satire about a family of professional killers responsible for the
most atrocious events in history and the young brothers that are
destined to take over. Meet Otto and Cecil. Two brothers growing up
privileged in the Welsh countryside. They enjoy watching nature
shows, playing with their pet pony, impersonating their
Grandfather...and killing the help. Murder is the family business
after all. Downton Abbey, this is not. However, it's not so easy to
continue the family legacy with the constant stream of threats and
distractions seemingly leaping from the hedgerow. First there is
the matter of the veritable cavalcade of escaped convicts that keep
showing up at their door. Not to mention the debaucherous new tutor
who has a penchant for speaking in Greek and dismembering sex
dolls. Then there's Mummy's burgeoning opioid addiction. And who
knows where Daddy is. He just vanished one day after he and Mummy
took a walk in the so called "Ghost Forest." With Grandfather
putting pressure on Otto to step up, it becomes clear that this
will all end in only two ways: a nuclear apocalypse or just another
day among the creeping thistle and tree peonies. And in a novel
written by Chuck Palahniuk, either are equally possible.
