The Dead Pennies

After leaving an abusive relationship, Abby visits an old friend on her way to her mother's in Florida. Hayden's Uncle Jack is renovating a building into high-end apartments in town, and with the lure of living rent-free in a beautiful loft, Abby becomes the caretaker with the entire building all to herself. Abby hears strange sounds in the building. Shadows move as if they're alive. Led to believe the structure was previously a school, Abby is told by the last living employee of Harper's Grove that the building used to be a home for the infirm and unwanted children, the Dead Pennies of society, unfit for circulation. Abby and Hayden search for the cause of the strange events at Harper's Grove, and find out why the spirits of the dead children won't sleep until they get vengeance. But there's also another evil at play-this one of a human nature. Abby's ex-boyfriend, Nick, finds out where she has run off to. He won't stop for anything until she's back in his clutches, but Nick doesn't expect to come up against the raging spirits of the Dead Pennies. "Plainly stated, Robert Ford's most recent novel (Burner) ranks up there with Jack Ketchum's THE GIRL NEXT DOOR." - Pete Kahle "Ford's writing here is next level. His prose is smooth, eloquent and often times beautiful even while describing the most vile and despicable acts." - Ron Davis "(Burner is) One of the most binge-worthy books I've ever read. Could not set it down. A+ horror all the way." - "Mother Horror" Sadie Hartmann Robert Ford has written the novels The Dead Pennies, Larva Me Tender, Burner, Blood Roses, The Compound, No Lipstick in Avalon, Inner Demons, a collection of novellas, and The God Beneath my Garden, his collected short fiction. He has co-authored the novella Rattlesnake Kisses, and Cattywampus, and Black Salve with John Boden. He can confirm the grass actually is greener on the other side, but it's only because of the bodies buried there. You can find out more about what he's up to by visiting robertfordauthor.com
