Chatterhat
His name is Bob and he delivers the milk. He doesn't need the money. It's just something to do.
One night, Bob hears a story. A story about a mass shooting and a girl too good to be true. A story he can't let go.
Next thing you know, Bob's doing a deep dive into the suburban weird. Along the way he'll encounter a cat-munching goat monster. A possibly mythical criminal mastermind. A half-faced man who's a whole lot of trouble. Some curious neighbors. A masked typist. And the clues to a mystery Bob may lack the imagination to define, the courage to pursue, and the acuity to solve, assuming a solution exists.
Chatterhat is a countercultural comedy and a paranoid meta-mystery. Have fun. Don't drop the milk.

About the author
Matt Ingwalson
19 books43 followersI write all sorts of thrillers - police procedurals, occult horror and absurdist noir. Where to start?
If you're into tricky mysteries without too much violence, give the Owl and Raccoon detective series a try. If you'd prefer to dive into something darker, try Sever and Camille. These two books together tell a nostalgic story full of witchcraft and serial killers. Mary Monster is my most challenging book, a stylized, literary take on gothic noir.

LOVED this!! Every part of it!!! Absurd in the best ways, relatable in others, and thoroughly entertaining all the way through.
I picked this up two years ago at an independent bookshop while in Denver, CO, and I cannot believe it took me so long to read it.
