Spooky, thoroughly original and hauntingly written, A Guide for Murdered Kids is a psychological thriller and an otherworldly surprise.

‘In her amazing thriller, Sarah Sparrow offers joined the ranks of Shirley Jackson and Stephen Ruler. A warning: there is no safe place to read this reserve.’

-David Cronenberg

We all say there is absolutely no justice in this world. But what if there really was? Imagine if the souls of murdered children were able to return briefly to the globe, inhabit adult bodies and about A Instruction for Murdered Children: A Book wreak supreme revenge for the monsters who had killed them, taken their lives?

Such is the unfathomable secret confronting ex-NYPD detective Willow Wylde, refreshing out of rehab and finally capable to find a job running a Chilly Case squad in suburban Detroit. When the two rookie cops designated to him consider an obsessive interest in a decades previous disappearance of a sibling and sister, Willow starts to suspect something out of the ordinary is afoot. And when he uncovers a series of church basement AA-type meetings composed of the slain innocents, a fresh way of looking at life, death, murder and missed opportunities is revealed to him.

Mystical, harrowing and ultimately tremendously shifting, A Guide for Murdered Children is certainly a genre-busting, mind-bending twist in the great line between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
