Description
Christmas morning in Burnt Sparrow, New Hampshire, begins like any other until three faceless entities arrive and commit an act of brutal violence that permanently changes the isolated community.
As the townspeople struggle with grief and the aftermath of the massacre, young Rupert Cromwell is forced to confront painful truths about his family and the complicated relationships surrounding him. But the violence has consequences that continue to spread, drawing the residents into an increasingly horrifying web of cruelty, retribution, and loss.
In Burnt Sparrow, the dead are never quite gone, and the boundaries between suffering, revenge, and monstrosity begin to collapse. As more carnage unfolds, the community discovers that some lines should never be crossed, no matter how deeply people have been wronged.
The first installment of the Burnt Sparrow trilogy, We Are Always Tender with Our Dead is visceral, atmospheric queer horror that combines supernatural terror with literary intensity. Eric LaRocca explores grief, violence, family, and the darker corners of human nature in a story designed to unsettle long after the final page.
