A powerful family’s terrible secrets threaten to consume them in Chimera, a visceral body horror novel from Gretchen Felker-Martin, the author of Manhunt and Cuckoo. Centuries ago, in the dark of the woods, a pact was made. A gift was given. And the costs have echoed down the bloodlines. The clans of Skin Dancers—humans able to shapeshift into the form of any animal they've eaten—rule the 1980s New England crime scene. A late summer wedding between two families is meant to usher in a new era of peace between households, and stifle the brewing tensions that threaten to boil over into war. But something is lurking in the forest outside the family compound. Something ancient, angry...and starving.
