A Family of Killers - Bryce Moore

From the author of The Perfect Place to Die and Don't Go to Sleep comes another chilling horror tale of a young man who investigates a string of disappearances, including his father; what he learns after spending the night with the unsettling Bender family will change his world forever...

Seventeen-year-old Warren is haunted by a sinister voice in his head urging him to commit unspeakable acts of violence on the people around him. He is horrified by the voice and does everything in his power to ensure there is no way for him to hurt anyone. However, rumors begin to spread about a string of disappearances in southeastern Kansas, only 70 miles away from his family's farm, and his father hasn't returned from what was supposed to be a simple trip. Warren knows he needs to stop living in fear so he can find his father.

As he makes his way through Kansas, he learns more about the disappearances and does his best to drown out the voice in his head. He finds himself at a suspicious inn run by the Benders, a family with deeply unsettling mannerisms. That is, except for Kate, who Warren feels a strong pull to—and it seems like she might feel the pull right back. It's only after they part ways that he learns the Benders are responsible for all the missing people, and when he returns to the inn, it's clear the Benders have fled town, leaving behind an orchard of buried bodies—including his father's.

Warren is determined to take down the Benders, even if that means giving into the voice he has been working so hard to ignore. But even if he does somehow find them, will he be able to do what it takes to avenge his father?
