“In Suspect Zero” a young killer goes in search of a mentor and finds something far stranger. “Flayed Ed” brings together murderer Ed Gein and an ancient Aztec god. In “Razor Pig,” we meet a father in search of his lost daughter, both of whom have sinister secrets. The stories here explore themes of primal fear, loss, fractured love, and a search for meaning in a meaningless world. Covering more than 20 years of his career, these tales take readers from the plains of Siberia to a decimated Los Angeles, from Hell to long forgotten cities, from hidden murder rooms to houses haunted by more than ghosts. The Secrets of Insects is the first short story collection by New York Times bestselling writer Richard Kadrey. Dust jacket illustration by Christopher Shy.
