Overview
“We Disappear is a mystery concerning the identity of a teenage boy and the people he draws into his web of half-truths. . . . It’s not hyperbole to suggest that We Disappear is the eeriest Kansas-set story since Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood." — Chicago Sun-Times
A dark and compelling
novel of addiction, obsession, love, and family from the acclaimed author of Mysterious Skin
The body of a teenage boy is
discovered in a Kansas field. The murder haunts Donna—a recent widow battling
cancer—calling forth troubling details from long-suppressed memories of her
past. Hoping to discover more about "disappeared" people, she turns
to her son, Scott, who is fighting demons of his own. Addicted to methamphetamines
and sleeping pills, Scott is barely holding on—though the chance to help his
mother in her strange and desperate search holds out a slim promise of some
small salvation.
But what he finds is a boy named
Otis handcuffed in a secret basement room, and the questions that arise seem
too disturbing even to contemplate. With his mother's health rapidly
deteriorating, Scott must surrender to his own obsession, and unravel Otis's
unsettling connections to other missing teens . . . and, ultimately, to himself.
