Chad answered C.'s question: Chad Lutzke

How The Skin Sheds by Chad Lutzke
"Awesome revenge story of a monster who brutally rapes and cuts of body parts of woman as souvenirs. This was an awesome story even the little side quest by the kkk kidnapping. I loved it."
How The Skin Sheds by Chad Lutzke
"Holy crap what a great book. No wonder the book is dedicated to Lansdale, this one could be the HAP and Leonard of the west. Loved every word. Characters were written in such a way you just want to sit and hang out with them. Garrett, Nadine and Fran" Read more of this review »

“Dirt is the closest thing to a womb a person can hope for.”
Chad Lutzke, Out Behind the Barn

“I didn’t want to shorten my stay. I wanted to live there, carve out a bed in the shelves and read my life away, wear the cologne of aging pages. The place made Hermosa Beach feel like a plan B.”
Chad Lutzke, Skullface Boy

“This is about hating yourself enough to go to extremes. It's about surviving, when all you want to do is wake up dead.”
Chad Lutzke, Stirring the Sheets
