Family Bones

™ and ©2005 King Tractor Press

Sean is a rebellious teen from the city, sent to his aunt and uncle’s farm for the summer. His parents are having problems, and this way they can sort out their marriage and Sean can have a little country vacation. Sigh. It never turns out that way, does it? In reality, Sean’s mom is a neurotic dysfunctional, and she’s healthy compared to the rest of the family. Uncle Ray is a violent sociopath and Aunt Faye is a weak-willed enabler. Each day Sean is forced to labor in the fields, with little food an lots of healthy Midwestern discipline. And then the bodies start turning up.

Family Bones is based on the story of serial killers Ray and Faye Copeland, the oldest American couple to be sentenced to death. Writer Shawn Granger, the real-life nephew of the couple, tells his side of the tale.
