Overview

From author RWK Clark comes this terrifying story about a town's hidden dark secrets. A misunderstood act of chivalry places Scott at the mercy of a rural community hiding a sinister secret.
As they say, no good deed goes unpunished, and for Scott, that punishment could be his life.
Sit back and enjoy this stay-up-all-night serial killer psychological thriller.


'Brother's Keeper' was my first psychological thriller, and it was simultaneously fun and challenging to write. It tells the story of Scott Sharp, a traveler whose train makes a stop at the tiny town of Burdensville. Here, Scott tries to assist a waitress being harassed by a drunk and gets himself arrested, pulling the stranger into the dark secrets the town holds.
Writing this story was fun for a variety of reasons. It was off the beaten path compared to most books I write. The monster in this book is not a vampire, witch, or zombie; instead, the monster is an unknown murdering sociopath. Developing the character of the killer was fun. I wanted him to be dull but intelligent; he needed to be needy but in control in ways no one understood. He needed to have deep-seated issues that were in such a terrible knot that even those who might care about him didn't know how to sort them out.
Scott walks into Burdensville without the slightest idea what has been happening to this town. The whole place is off, and he can't seem to put his finger on what is happening around him. But it is there that Scott himself will begin to unravel the goings-on in the small town for himself.
I wanted readers to be in Burdensville while they read this. I also wanted readers to get a precise feel for the town. Mayberry, without a shower. I did my best to convey the gloom. The constant shadows seemed to hang over the place, even when the sun was shining. That's more or less what happens in small-town life, and evil or not, Burdensville is no different.
