Reviews

[Pedro Iniguez · Rating 5 out of 5]

"A thrilling, chaotic—and oftentimes farcical—odyssey into the mind and life of a hapless family killer. With Decay Chain, Emma Murray proves again why she is the queen of morally reprehensible characters, messy family dynamics, and delectable violence. This book will leave you cursing, crying, and laughing before the last page.”

--Pedro Iniguez, Bram Stoker Award winner, and author of Fever Dreams of a Parasite
