His Father's Son by Bentley Little
"On a par with such greats as Stephen King, Clive Barker and Peter Straub" (Midwest Book Review), Bentley Little brings his unnerving talents to the terrifying story of a dysfunctional family in crisis.Steve Nye writes for an alumni magazine and his long-term relationship is on the steady path to marriage. But his quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a phone call from his mother. His father attacked her and has been committed to a mental asylum. The doctor says he's suffering from dementia. But Steve's father seems so calm, clear-eyed, and perfectly lucid when he whispers, "I killed her..."
Is it simply another symptom of delusion and madness? To find the answer, Steve investigates the cryptic message leading him down a terrifying path of his own making--and of his own nightmares....
Bentley Little has written a number of books, short stories, articles, essays, and book reviews. Little sold his soul and abandoned any artistic integrity after receiving a BA in communications and an MA in English, and worked for eight years as a bureaucrat for a midsized city in Orange County, California. His first work, The Revelation, earned the Bram Stoker Award for best first novel from the Horror Writers Association in 1990. Little, a Luddite without Internet access, still listens to vinyl albums and owns no cell phone, iPod, MP3 player, or Blackberry. He has a son and a wife.
