From the acclaimed author of Fight Club comes a wickedly humorous horror satire that delves into the story of a family of professional killers who have been responsible for some of the most heinous events in history, and the young brothers who are destined to take over their legacy. Meet Otto and Cecil, two privileged brothers growing up in the Welsh countryside. They indulge in various hobbies such as watching nature documentaries, playing with their pet pony, impersonating their grandfather, and engaging in the gruesome act of killing their household help. After all, murder is their family business. This is not your typical Downton Abbey tale. However, sustaining the family legacy becomes increasingly challenging as threats and distractions emerge from every corner. First and foremost, there is the constant influx of escaped convicts who seem to find their way to their doorstep. Not to mention the debauched new tutor who has a peculiar fascination with speaking in Greek and dismembering sex dolls. Then, there is Mummy's growing opioid addiction. And who knows where Daddy is? He mysteriously disappeared one day after taking a stroll in the so-called "Ghost Forest." With Grandfather exerting pressure on Otto to step up, it becomes evident that this saga will culminate in two distinct outcomes: a nuclear apocalypse or simply another day amidst the encroaching thistles and tree peonies. And in a novel penned by Chuck Palahniuk, both possibilities are equally plausible.
