Dark Places

At just seven years old, Libby Day was the sole survivor of a horrific family massacre, giving testimony that sent her older brother, Ben, to prison. Twenty-five years later, adrift and running low on the 'Libby Day fund' that has sustained her, she's coerced into appearing at a gathering of the 'Kill Club,' an underground society obsessed with notorious crimes. To Libby's shock, this group believes Ben is innocent and offers her $500 to revisit the case. Desperate for money, Libby reluctantly agrees, plunging back into the dark heart of her childhood. As she digs deeper, she uncovers unsettling truths about her family's poverty, her mother's desperation, Ben's troubled life as a social misfit involved with the enigmatic heavy-metal fan Diondra, and the sinister undercurrents of their small, struggling farming community. The more Libby unearths, the more she questions everything she thought she knew, forcing her to confront a past far more complex and terrifying than her seven-year-old self could ever comprehend, ultimately revealing a shocking truth about that fateful night.
