Duck, Hunting

Mallory Rathbone is just a girl.

She adores her brothers, who call her Duck.

She runs a bed & breakfast out of her childhood home.

She is secretly in love with her best friend.

She was raised as a cannibal.

It’s the summer of 1965, and twenty-year-old Mallory can’t imagine a life outside of the lakeside town where she was raised by her older brothers. She’s comfortable there and settled in routine. Plus, her family has been butchering and consuming people without suspicion for well over a decade, and she has no intention of stopping.

When a traveling carnival sets up at the edge of town, Mallory can’t help noticing what a perfect hunting ground it will make. But while she’s selecting and stalking her next victim, mutilated bodies start showing up in the surrounding forest. Though appalled by such mindless violence, she’s not truly worried until the bodies are identified, pointing much closer to home than expected.

Typically, Mallory Rathbone loves the hunt, but it’s never felt quite so important or personal as now.
