It's just an average night at the Ink Tank, the tattoo shop in Austin, Texas, where Brynn works as a tattoo artist. After a long shift, all she wants to do is head home, pop a few pills from the fresh bottle of Roxicodone in her jacket pocket, and slip into a nice buzz. Her plans crumble when she's abducted by her convict father, Alan, and forced into the road trip from hell: a cross-country trek to the Rocky Mountains and the shelter he built years ago to protect his family from the monsters living in his head, the monsters he says will erupt from the earth at any minute-the Feeders. With each mile he unravels further, thrusting Brynn back into the childhood nightmare she thought she'd escaped forever. Alan is paranoid, and he's definitely dangerous-but is he crazy? In this novel, we find that truth is not always what it seems, and that some secrets are better left buried.
