Jones, author of White Line Fever From Tyler Jones, author of Burn the Plans (one of Esquire's Best Horror Books of 2022), Heavy Oceans, and Midas, comes a new novel in which the future is written in blood. In fifth grade, Julian is bullied and alienated until Marcy befriends him and learns the strange boy's dark secret: he sees visions of death in his own blood. Visions that turn out to be eerily accurate. When Julian becomes a famous artist, he inadvertently pulls Marcy and her son into a world of secret government programs, murder, blood soaked canvas, and a terrifying version of the future that's barreling toward them with all the force of a nuclear weapon. A horror story about fate and how every choice shapes what will become our world.Brief description: Tyler Jones is the author of Criterium, The Dark Side of the Room, Almost Ruth, Turn Up the Sun, Burn the Plans (an Esquire Best Horror Book of the Year), Heavy Oceans, Midas, and Night of the Glass Knives.
