This story about a small town’s secrets is filled with stunning turns of phrase, told by a narrator that you know is unreliable, but you don’t know how.

When I was a senior in high school, my biology teacher murdered his entire family and got away with it. I’m going to lie to you about it now, but first I need you to understand this much: he did it. He killed them all, and in the end they let him go.
I’ve been trying to tell this story ever since. Trying to find the right lies I need to tell the truth.

The whole thing is like that. It’s grim, brilliant and unforgettable.
