Overview
Denny is a 12-year-old neglected boy who's been studying all year for the upcoming spelling bee. But when his alcoholic mother dies in her sleep, he suddenly faces foster care. To ensure he still competes in the school event, he hides his mother's death for one week so he can have a chance at something he so desperately needs. Something to be proud of. Something his dad would have been proud of: A win.A heartfelt and tragic coming-of-age tale in the setting of a hot New Orleans summer."Original, touching coming of age."~Jack Ketchum, author of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR“…a cracking coming-of-age story and a gut punch of emotional horror. I cheered when I read the final sentence.”~Richard Chizmar, author of CHASING THE BOOGEYMAN and GWENDY'S BUTTON BOX."Of Foster Homes and Flies is the darkest, most disturbing story Chad Lutzke has written. It's also his best...the ultimate one-finger salute to oppression...Highly recommended."~Dan Padavona, author of the DARKWATER COVE and WOLF LAKE series."With "Of Foster Homes and Flies" Lutzke is firing on all cylinders. It's a lean mean emotional machine. Coming-of-age presented in a fresh direction. Bearing tremendous emotional weight and heart. It made me cry. "~John Boden, author of JEDI SUMMER and SNARL"Disturbing, often gruesome, yet poignant at the same time, Chad Lutzke's Of Foster Homes and Flies is one of the best dark coming-of-age tales I've read in years. You'll laugh (sometimes when you know you shouldn't), you'll cry, you'll find yourself wondering how soon you can read more of this guy's work. Highly recommended!"~James Newman, author of MIDNIGHT RAIN, UGLY AS SIN, and ODD MAN OUT"...one of those real treats that comes down the pipe and manages to get you all excited about reading again...the whole ting is just beautiful."~Ginger Nuts of Horror"Loved it, wished I loved all books I read as much...a sweet, yet subtly horrific and superbly written story. Lutzke shows incredible skills...Highly recommended."~Mark Matthews, author of ALL SMOKE RISES and THE HOBGOBLIN OF LITTLE MINDS"Of Foster Homes and Flies by Chad Lutzke is a lovely addition to the coming of age subgenre. He creates in the character of Denny an authentic young man with passions and foibles, someone easy to relate to and root for. The novella hits all the right notes you expect out of a coming of age tale, while also providing a plot that has originality and surprises."~Mark Allan Gunnells, author of FLOWERS IN THE DUMPSTER and THE SUMMER OF WINTERS
