Author Tim Miller is trying something new with the release of his first psychological thriller, My Brother’s Keeper. Tim is normally known more for his splatterpunk series of books such as Hacked, Hell Texas, and April Almighty.
Tim explained that he wanted to write something a bit different this time, something that may hit home for a lot of people out there: the horrors of child abuse, a parent pushed over the edge, and an extreme case of what Tim calls, “Mommy Dearest on acid.”
My Brother’s Keeper is an excellent story that will pull at your heartstrings one moment, and the next make you want punch a wall. The mix of emotions, mixed in with the agony of child abuse, will keep you gripped until the very end. It’s available June 23rd from GutWrench Productions; pre-order from the EvilShop below.
Tim has just released his entire April Almighty series of books as well, including an exclusive bonus chapter with an alternate ending.
My Brother’s Keeper Synopsis:
Simon is a six-year-old boy with autism. He is often subject to throwing fits and tantrums at random times, sometimes lasting for hours. His father committed suicide when he was a toddler leaving the family to fend for themselves. Simon’s own mother is at the end of her rope and not sure what to do with him. The only stable force in Simon’s life is Bobby. Bobby is his twelve year old brother who loves Simon dearly and will protect him at any cost.
Bobby has had his own issues with anger and violent outbursts, yet he has all the patience in the world for Simon. This dynamic has created a “Her vs. us” situation with their own mother who each day despises her own children even more. As she slowly loses her mind, taking out her rage and frustration on the boys, Bobby will go to any length to protect Simon from the one who should care for him the most. The brothers thought horror was the monsters you see in books or movies. They are about to learn, true horror lives with us every day.
